After more than 20 shops were inspected in Naledi, Soweto, since Monday, only one trader was arrested for not having proper documentation.
Environmental health inspectors and other authorities are investigating the cause of deaths of six children after they allegedly consumed snacks bought from a spaza shop in Naledi. More cases of children falling sick and ended up in hospitals were also reported in Gauteng in the past few weeks.
The inspection team took sample of chemical agents that owners may be using to get rid of pests like rats or cockroaches.
