Why we all need the Informal Economy


In townships around South Africa, many rely on jobs in the informal economy to make an income. This is a look at one such job, washing cars, and its impact on the people of a community and the local economy.

  1. I came across your channel where YouTube recommended a vid about rugby vs soccer. Your channel is quite good and you do your research which I like. Just so you know, content you are on point. I am glad I found your channel hey. I am still shocked you read the government gazette lol but it goes to show that you research the topics you are presenting to us. All the best my brother.

  2. I'd like to see a video on those who sell food eg. plates and magwinya, particularly at the taxi rank or in the CBD just to see their relationship with customers and taxi drivers. This always fascinated me when I was in varsity, especially in the morning you could get a hot beverage, sandwich or amakeke, for lunch you could get something as simple as boiled eggs to chips or full plate for an affordable price. I'd always wonder what time they get up to prepare and if they spend the whole day there and how much they make on average. I'd also like to know about those who walk around selling drinks and cigarettes and what the types of things and people they encounter on the daily.

  3. This won't work in townships I guarantee that. Actually they must start with spaza shops before they come for car wash and all that. The government is scared of spaza shops.

  4. This will just open more doors for corrupt cops to extort money from these business and allow them to keep operating as they have been doing do years with shabeens and tarvens….
