Bloem Spaza Shop Owners Frustrated Over Registration Deadline

Owners of food outlets including tuck shops also called spaza shops in Bloemfontein are frustrated over the looming deadline for the registration of their businesses.

Some say municipal authorities have sent them back many times on grounds that their documents are incomplete.

There are long queues at the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality offices where business people are trying to submit relevant documents ahead of todays 5 PM deadline.

One of them says the delays are frustrating.

Some of the landowners are struggling to get particulars on board so that is why it is delaying for people to register all at once.
