The Buffalo City Metro in the Eastern Cape has embarked on a campaign to close all spaza shops and informal food vendors which fail to comply with health and safety standards.

Head of Communications and spokesperson for the metro Samkelo Ngwenya says municipal health services officials are conducting raids together with the police and it has been discovered that some of the spaza shops raided are selling expired food.

“Some of the discoveries we are finding in these shops show us that we must intensify our operations. Our people are at risk. They are being exposed to food outlets that are careless and reckless,” says Ngwenya. The spokesperson says several steps are being taken by the municipality to deal with non-compliant shop owners and food vendors, namely issuing warnings, fines and where necessary the closure of shops and arrests.A summary of today’s SPAZA COMPLY operations and findings is given by Metro Senior Manager for Municipal Health Services Luyanda Madikizela.

Big up

Wow. Brilliant. You mean the rules only applied to some businesses in the past. Level playing field?

Heke...one step in a right direction

Worry about where some of them are sending money to. People can see if health standards aren't met and avoid those establishments.

And How many of those spaza shops being closed are owned by foreign nationals 🤔 ? Sengathi kunecebo here...

But we shouldn’t praise a plumber for unblocking a drain.🤦🏾‍♂️This people were suppose to have been doing this all this year in year out.

Long overdue ✍✍✍

Every province should make it a norm to do all inspections and conduct searches including destroying of illicit products, beverages, childrens lollies and biscuits. It must be a tusk of community safety MEC's,random searches and patrols should be done weekly
