Popps is not only well-versed in showbiz gossip. The comedian also opines on more serious societal topics.
The comedian previously discussed the growing trend of spaza shops in Mzansi townships being owned by foreign nationals.
Popps and his co-hosts noted how these shops are rarely owned by the black people who reside in these areas, sparking a bigger immigration and business competition debate.
The hosts alleged that Pakistani nationals run these spaza shop businesses across the country.
They also claimed that the owners of the said shops eliminate local blacks if they attempt to run the shops themselves.
