My Parents Spaza Shop (Pty) Ltd

Company Profile: My Parents Spaza Shop (Pty) Ltd

Executive Summary

My Parents Spaza Shop (Pty) Ltd is a pioneering, values-driven South African enterprise founded on the historic principles of Ubuntu ("Umntu ngumntu ngabantu"). Established conceptually out of the resilience of 1948—at the peak of Apartheid—and inspired by the community-funded trading stores of the 1950s through the 1990s, the company modernises the traditional township spazaspirit.

Beyond manufacturing its own proprietary products and services, My Parents Spaza Shop acts as an economic bridge. The company disrupts the spatial and economic legacies of Apartheid by aggressively exposing grassroots entrepreneurs from rural areas, townships, and the Cape Flats to lucrative inner-city and international markets.
