Govt's Decision To Register Spaza Shops Is Unfair Nafcoc

The National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and Industry Nafcoc has described governments decision to register spaza shops as unfair.

Yesterday was the last day to register spaza shops, as part of governments response to address foodborne illnesses that have claimed the lives of children across the country.

Nafcoc Secretary-General Richard Zulu says the government should start engaging with affected communities in decision-making.

Zulu says, "It is now time for government to begin to engage with affected communities and businesses like Nafcoc to find solutions. So this thing of government decisions on issues that affect businesses and not engage with business people themselves, it's a problem. In fact, it has created more problems than solving them. Very soon well have a huge problem in our country."
