Desperate Towns: Shops Secretly Sell Poison to Kids

DEADLY SHELVES: The Shelves Meant to Feed a Community Are Now Killing Its Children.

Six children are DEAD. Poisoned by snacks bought from their local spaza shops in Soweto. This isn’t an accident—it’s a SYSTEMIC FAILURE that has turned convenience stores into crime scenes. The killer? An illegal chemical pesticide called Terbufos, allegedly lurking in everyday food. The victims: Zinhle, Isago, Njabulo, Katlego, Karabo, and Monica, all under nine years old.

“My son died in my hands,” said Nthabiseng Mabote, her son’s name meaning “future.” That future was stolen. Another mother, Refloe Rampou, is haunted daily: “His face keeps reminiscing in my mind.” These families have been left with NOTHING—no answers, no justice, just unbearable grief.

The evidence is in the photos: packed shelves holding potential danger. The community’s rage is EXPLODING into xenophobic tensions, with groups like Operation Dudula targeting immigrant-owned shops. One grieving mother now says, “I wish that all of the immigrants would leave.”

But where is the government? Minister John Steenhuisen FINALLY announced a ban on Terbufos, as seen in his official portrait, but ONLY AFTER the bodies piled up. His mandate is too little, too late. Regulations are a joke. Food poisoning cases are SPREADING to other provinces.

Experts offer band-aid solutions—courses on “community integration” and calls for corporate sponsors to test products—while children are buried. The real pattern is clear: a vulnerable population is being fed POISON while officials drag their feet and communities tear themselves apart.

This is what happens when survival is left to unregulated, deadly commerce.
