In a move to safeguard the well-being of consumers, the Department of Economic Development, Environment, Conservation, and Tourism in the North West has launched a campaign on spaza shops.
The Latela Molao campaign, loosely translated to follow the rules, is targeting spaza shops selling expired products.
The campaign is spearheaded by the department's consumer affairs directorate.
The campaign came on the back of outrage in various communities, calling for all spaza shops owned by foreign nationals to be closed.
