Some of them said they were given fake permits and others had to renew their permits as they had expired. Some of the permits seen by Sowetan were handwritten and others were just copies.
"I arrived here at 4am and there were already hundreds of people waiting in the queue. I had problem with the law enforcers who told me that my permits were fake. When I went to apply for permit two weeks ago in Braamfontein, Johannesburg I was given copies. I have been told that I need to get original copies," he said.Maria Malope, 42, who sells fruit and vegetables outside Jabulani mall said her permit had expired.
