A South African woman, Nomsa, has bagged herself a new spaza shop, and the internet can’t help but celebrate her.
In a TikTok post by @mzansi_3, Nomsa stands behind the counter in her new spaza shop. The woman’s shop looked neat and tidy, and everything was in its place. It is not clear where the lady opened her shop, but Mzansi is proud of her.
Nomsa’s move comes as South Africans are angry at spaza shop owners, who are mainly foreigners, because of the expired goods that they are selling to their customers. Some fell sick and others died because of spaza shops’ expired products. Among those, most are children.
