Following weeks of increased activity that eventually drew national attention to spaza shops , after the deaths and illnesses of many schoolchildren, government has intervened.
They urged all spaza establishments to apply for operating permits. However, this is unsatisfactory to ActionSA who want only locals to own the shops.ActionSA’s long-held call for government and society to do something about the gradual foreign take-over of Spaza Shops," said ActionSA presidency's stakeholder relations director.
He said these spaza shops have played a key part of historic subsistence of entrepreneurship in the country's rural areas and townships."Mashaba will be accompanied by ActionSA Gauteng provincial chairperson, Funzi Ngobeni MPL, ActionSA chief whip and national spokesperson, Lerato Ngobeni MP, and other leaders and members of the party in the Gauteng region, as well as other Soweto residents and civic organisations.
