Centurion Pick n Pay closed over cockroach infestation
The mayor of Pretoria has announced that a Pick n Pay shop at the Blu Valley Centre, in Centurion Gauteng, has been closed due to non-compliance with health regulations.
“We said that we will not only chase spaza shops and small businesses, because large companies also have a responsibility to comply with them. Of those who buy their baked goods from Pick n Pay, that’s how they’re made,” she said while pointing to baking pans with cockroaches on an X-shot.
In the clip, the mayor is seen pointing to the bugs. “Just look at the dirt of this. It’s not even the worst we’ve seen here. The hygiene requirements were neglected by Pick n Pay at the Blu Valley Mall. We are closing these institutions.”
Moyo further said that the store’s license would be revoked and urged customers not to buy from the store until they announced that the health complaint had been cleared up.
There is no mention of when health inspectors last visited the store for health and safety inspections, which should be carried out on a regular basis as required by law.
Pick n Pay condemned the store’s behavior in a statement.
“This particular store is a franchised store, and what was seen was completely unacceptable.
“Management was on the ground within 30 minutes of being informed. This is very far from what we expect from our franchisees and store managers, and we have launched a full investigation and audit.”
In addition, it issued an apology to customers and said that work is being done to correct the problem to ensure that it does not happen again.
