| Lucky's Mfowethu Spaza in NU 5 |
There are at least 100.000 spaza shops in South Africa with an estimated 40.000 located in Gautend - with a collective turnover of R 7 billion per annum. Spaza Shops or Tuck Shops are informal convenience shops, usually run from home.
They also serve the purpose of supplementing household incomes of the owners, selling everyday small household items.
These shops grew as a result of sprawling townships, that made travel to formal shopping places more dirfficult or expensive.
