EFF marches over Phala Phala

Spaza shops, small township grocery stores in South Africa, have deep historical roots tied to the Apartheid era when Black business ownership was restricted. Despite legalization in 1989, these shops face challenges such as inefficient supply chains, high costs, regulatory non-compliance, and food safety concerns. The informal sector, where these shops operate, contributes significantly to the national food expenditure but often escapes taxation and regulatory oversight. Recent food poisoning cases, linked to unsafe practices, have heightened scrutiny, with government officials emphasizing the need for compliance and community vigilance. While challenges persist, spaza shops hold potential for economic growth, job creation, and community support if adequately regulated and supported.
