I was hoping and praying for the 6th child to survive honestly 💔

And to think, these people have now moved to manufacturing, they are now suppliers to even some big shops.

O this is heartbreaking😭. Spaza shops must be monitored and regulated by municipalities a lot more. Sincere condolences to the families🙏🏻

Also blame the municipal authorities- food is highly regulated. Whons not doing their jobs

The spaza shops must not sell rat poison. Its not worth it. If the pkts or boxes break it can spread on the snacks or anything. Its too sad to lose our innocent children. Prayers to all the families. Ameen.
