Operation Dudula plans to take legal action against the government, accusing it of failing to adequately address food contamination cases allegedly linked to foreign-owned spaza shops, the Mail & Guardian reported on Wednesday.

It has been reported that, the group said it intends to file a case in the high court before December.

“Operation Dudula’s national organiser, Davis Magolego said the organisation was “unhappy” with the government’s approach to dealing with the food contamination cases, he said, particularly with shops owned by foreign nationals. 

Magolego said that businesses owned by foreigners should only be allowed to operate if they invested R5 million in the economy.
