Several inspections in Gauteng have been scheduled to verify the degree of adherence to food safety regulations for all Spaza stores in townships around the province.
Gauteng Finance and Economic Development MEC, Lebogang Maile briefed the media in Sandton, Johannesburg on Sunday. This comes in the wake ofLocals have accused foreign national spaza shop owners in townships of selling expired food. This has led to incidents of looting resulting in many spaza shops being shut down in the Vaal and Naledi in Soweto.Maile has called on the national government to take the lead in tackling this phenomenon.
“While the provincial government awaits official autopsies to gain a clearer understanding of what precisely is killing and making children sick in our townships after they consume products from foreign-owned enterprises. We are also engaging with public health experts to understand the potential magnitude of the problem.”Maile says it is justifiable that local spaza shop owners are frustrated by the inability to expand their businesses due to structural constraints.
“It is inevitable under such circumstances that local spaza shop owners are frustrated by being unable to thrive in their own communities especially as the factors behind their inability to thrive are down to the structural constraints rather than personal weaknesses.
