On Monday, members of the civic group Operation Dudula picketed at the Jabulani municipal offices, preventing foreigners from registering their shops.
Johannesburg - The City of Johannesburg says foreign-owned spaza shops will be the last to get registered following President Cyril Ramaphosa’s instruction to bring order to the sector.
To address the crisis of food contamination from spaza shops, the government has instructed all shop owners to register their businesses with their respective municipalities. The situation is calm at the Jabulani Civic Centre in Soweto, where Operation Dudula members are picketing in an attempt to stop foreign nationals from coming to register their spaza shops with the municipality.
