JOHANNEBSURG - The deadline for spaza shop owners to complete registration has been extended to 28 February 2025.
Spaza shop and food-handling business owners have to submit their completed applications, with all necessary documentation, at designated customer care centres.
The registration was prompted by the illness and deaths of at least 20 children after they allegedly consumed food from spaza shops.
Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CogTA) Velenkosini Hlabisa briefed media on Wednesday.
