💨 Abstract

Immigrant spaza shop owners in South Africa missed a registration deadline due to a slow response from the Department of Home Affairs in providing asylum-seeker documents. The deadline was set after 24 children died from eating poisoned/expired food. Registration was contingent on meeting legal and health requirements, including verification of immigration status, inspections for adherence to health and zoning regulations, and payment of business licence fees.
