Submission in response to the Gauteng Township Economic Development Draft Bill, 2020
The HSF has made submissions to the Gauteng Legislature in response to the Gauteng Township Economic Development Draft Bill, which seeks to exclude foreign nationals who do not have permanent residency status from owning and/or operating businesses in the Gauteng township economy. The HSF contends that the Bill unjustifiably limits the constitutional rights of foreign nations who are lawfully in the country, but who do not have permanent residency status to dignity and equality.
