VAAL TRIANGLE - Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs minister Velenkosini Hlabisa has warned spaza shop owners and food businesses that they will face legal action if not registered by 28 February. The sector has eleven days left to register with municipalities. This follows deadly foodborne illness outbreaks last year, with nearly 30 deaths. He called on business owners to register, and warned that non-compliance won’t be tolerated.
