a vote of confidence in hong kong as a good place to do business brewing john i'm in bed with pastor focused asian business that for 6600000000 u.s. dollars. first this is business africa welcome to. the far end of violence rocks in a city johannesburg businesses are struggling to keep the doors open and economic downturn africa's most developed economy is making things difficult anyway popular culture a model name for example is feeling the pinch visitors there are counselling plan trips and many business owners are too scared to trade the toxic mix that puts a decade of work in rejuvenated the former slum area and a serious threat. that john is big in the city has been rocked by cheeks of violence angry mobs looting and destroying anything in the park with foreign owned businesses feeling the brunt of this and that there is nothing

that just about. any form of this conflict between south africans. before and this yes should. it what did it with. the present whatever it is the effect has been devastating on my printing in the city have put tourism cult. cuisine and entrepreneurship. this is what the damage looks like and there's a big crowd of. people just throwing stones bricks businesses have seen a significant drop in visitors since the unrest began putting serious pressure on the hospitality and tourism sector is which rely on the city's estimated 5000000 annual visit is. how are we going to sustain this to investors with the sort of the

chaos that always worries me that will always stresses me out police have increased their numbers on the ground conducting raids and patrols across johannesburg we want to make sure that their parent and last time their people with routing a short stay it doesn't. or it doesn't spread to at the areas we will be remaining in their hearts ports or in our the areas that we affect it until we are sure that everything is there to not know my analysts argue the damage is already done this city is the most unequal in the world and it took a long time to begin to get people in the middle class to go and say it on sidewalks restaurants and go out in the town and this definitely is a psychological barrier to continuing the reintegration of class and race you know our awfully divided cities it's a tragedy and it's not only restaurants hostels bars and hotels

feeling the pinch in a city commerce is taking a serious hit i just have this feeling they might come back my customers ask it they've been calling me they cannot come and collect the as stuff some of the our stuff has been damaged so bubbling is never going to be the same again. although authorities claim the situation is slowly normalizing and wrist has already cost $12.00 lives and the city of gold remains on age. i'm all joined in johannesburg by a cloudy mile of it from business day cloudy you've been following these developments closely what's the mood these days. well on the streets everything has pretty much calmed down of course diplomatic diplomatically we would have seen the fallout president saddam up was a saint envoys in 2 different african countries which included among others nigeria
