There is massive Regulatory Capture going on in the local and municipal levels of South African economy

So many stories i don't know how to convey - here in Free State province, even our Town Planner is technically living "illegally" because our fricking r-slur municipality cucks refuse to enable the business approvals for inane reasons.

Example our Town planners tried to argue that some retired old ladies selling cake in their retirement homes does not constitute the necessity to fricking need to rezone a stand or her retirement home from residential to business just so that she can sell some fricking cakes to the neighbourhood.

Our r-slur commie twink municipal leaders want to fricking regulate EVERYTHING, but to such an impractical extent that i cannot explain it, and then they are incompetent at their jobs also, so when you DO apply for rezoning rights it can take up to 8 months for such an approval

The result is that one - people will just fricking go ahead to do it illegally, on the informal market, thus basically being lost as a tax base

or two - entire tiny rural townships are choked to death with ZERO economic development, some guy wants to open a buchery or tuckshop in the middle of a small dilapidated backwater neighbourhood, but the fricking brainless commies would not allow this rezoning. The real reason is of course the fricks want undertable bribing or tenders, but in doing so they choke the rural town economy to death.

An old hairdresser can't even legally open a barbershop in her backyard, because overregulation and enormous paperwork and provincial permission is required to fricking get this rezoning This isn't like some corporation is coming and placing a massive noise and swage polluting factory in the middle of a suburb or school district, it's a fricking backyard barbershop in a rural backwater of like 1000 peeps, and NO economic activity!

But these local statesmen do not care because they get taxpayer salary no matter how much the local district and economy around them perishes year after year, and they have the willingness to outwait the lack of bribes forever, they have all the arrogance and stupidity of local frickstain politicians that know they do not have to compete for their posts.
