Spaza shops go digital

Free State residents and the founders of tech company Next Curve Creations - Tumi Letsaba, Kgomotso Sebitlo, Ditjhaba Selemela and Bandile Ntombela - have created a mobile app that will help spaza shop owners operate more efficiently.

Called Progressive Creations, the app is intended to help store owners unite to benefit from bulk buying. It will also help individual owners keep better inventory records.
