The Democratic Alliance welcomes the multi-disciplinary enforcement blitz conducted by the Economic Department Portfolio Committee, in the KwaDukuza Central Business District, after recent food poisoning cases.
Multi-disciplinary teams to check vendors and spaza shops, amid the poisoning cases in many parts of the country, are needed – and this intervention in KwaDukuza is a good precedent.
Following intervention by DA KZN spokesperson on Education, Sakhile Mngadi MPL, engagements with the MEC have led to a call for vetting of vendors around schools in KZN to take place.
We welcome the move to begin this enforcement, after the DA intervened.
The DA is satisfied to note that the businesses that were shut down were given enough time to comply before enforcement was applied.
