Who managed the
Spaza Shop Fund?
Government records describe a shared structure: two national departments led the initiative, while two public agencies administered and implemented it.
SEDFA + NEF
SEDFA and the National Empowerment Fund assessed applications, approved support and delivered financial and non-financial assistance.
SEDFA’s PAIA response says its responsibility was limited to the DSBD contribution of R150 million.
The dtic contribution was channelled through the NEF’s Rural and Township Fund programme.
Municipalities verified permits and local compliance. COGTA was not responsible for disbursement or overall fund management.
A parliamentary reply says both agencies were custodians of the application database through a shared portal.
