This book powerfully demonstrates that some of the most resourceful
i /
entrepreneurs in the South African informal economy are migrants and refugees.
Yet far from being lauded, they take their life into their hands when they trade on
South Africa’s “mean streets”. The book draws attention to what they bring to
their adopted country through research into previously unexamined areas of
migrant entrepreneurship. Ranging from studies of how migrants have created
agglomeration economies in Jeppe and Ivory Park in Johannesburg, to guanxi
networks of Chinese entrepreneurs, to competition and cooperation among Somali
shop owners, to cross-border informal traders, to the informal transport operators
between South Africa and Zimbabwe, the chapters in this book reveal the positive
economic contributions of migrants. These include generating employment, paying
rents, providing cheaper goods to poor consumers, and supporting formal sector
wholesalers and retailers. As well, Mean Streets highlights the xenophobic responses
to migrant and refugee entrepreneurs and the challenges they face in running
a successful business on the streets.
Mean Streets is a refreshingly rich empirical documentation of the economic prospects and
possibilities for South Africa of the creativity and entrepreneurship of international migrants.
It is mostly a study of missed opportunities for the South African state and government, who prefer
to confront immigrants with legal obstacles and regulatory mechanisms than offer them the police,
official and social protection they crave to excel as businesses. Revised immigration policies with
a human rights focus would harness the energies of immigrants as a resource with benefits for
both South Africa and its immigrants’ countries of origin.
- Francis B. Nyamnjoh, University of Cape Town professor and author of
Insiders and Outsiders: Citizenship and Xenophobia in Contemporary Southern Africa
While migrants subjected to violent attacks generally appear as statistics or pathetic victims,
the studies in this book show how many navigate a hostile terrain with considerable ingenuity,
and are both victims and active agents in their own lives. The work is both empirically rich
and analytically rigorous, making it an important addition to existing literature.
- Raymond Suttner, former political prisoner and author of
Recovering Democracy in South Africa
This hard-hitting volume exposes the shameful, indeed scandalous, harassment of ‘foreign’
informal entrepreneurs by South African elites and some of the citizens they claim to lead.
- Keith Hart, London School of Economics and originator
of the term “the informal sector”
