Scores of foreign nationals applied to have their spaza shops registered in Gauteng

The MEC for Economic Development and Finance Lebogang Maile revealed that the Gauteng government received 7107 spaza shop applications from foreign nationals.
The article from MSN discusses the significant number of foreign nationals who have applied to register their spaza shops in Gauteng, South Africa. This initiative comes in response to a call by the Gauteng government for all spaza shop owners to register their businesses, aiming to regulate and monitor these small retail outlets more effectively. The registration drive is part of broader efforts to ensure compliance with local laws, improve food safety, and address issues related to illegal trading. The response has been substantial, with many foreign nationals, particularly from countries like Ethiopia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, stepping forward to comply with the new regulations. This move is seen as an attempt to integrate these businesses into the formal economy, enhance consumer protection, and possibly reduce tensions related to informal trading in the region.
