    What has the government done regarding the report which demonstrated that the deaths were caused by rat poisoning? Most of these foreign nationals sleep in these shops, it’s filthy and lots of clutter. No follow up checks are done by the health inspectors.

    Is this not manslaughter, deliberately selling food that can be harmful. these families must sue the department responsible for checks.

    Where are the Inspectors that were supposed to be hired during election times the government said they are hiring "Patrollers" for this. And the parents are also to blame.

    I'm not going to expect anything positive from this uncaring government. They are known to present a reactive rather than a preventative strategy against all forms of crime. They will attend to this issue for a few days like they did with the hospitality industries, Are they still visiting the hospitality industries?

    Its 8 children, not 5. The spaza shop owner has already opened another spaza shop in Pimville, Soweto, so there are no consequences if anyone was wondering. In a normal country, you arrest the spaza shop owner for murder but as usual, this is South Africa
