Engen Quick Shop in Sarona City Closed Over Public Health Violations

Engen Quick Shop in Sarona City Closed Over Public Health Violations. Minnova Pty Ltd, trading as Engen Quick Shop at Sarona City Mall, has been charged with multiple public safety violations following a health inspection. The City of Gaborone’s Environmental Health Division ordered the immediate closure of the store’s bakery and takeaway sections due to breaches of food safety regulations.

The inspection revealed that employees were operating without the required personal protective equipment (PPE), and the shop premises were found to be in an unsanitary condition. Authorities also reported that the establishment failed to provide valid medical examination certificates (Fitness Certificates) for its staff, as mandated under the Public Health Act and Food Control Act.

As a result, several food items found on the premises were seized and condemned for safe disposal. The closure will remain in effect until the outlet complies fully with all relevant health and safety regulations.

This development serves as a critical reminder to entrepreneurs and business operators in the food and retail sectors about the importance of maintaining hygiene standards and complying with public health requirements. Failure to meet these standards not only risks public health but also threatens the sustainability of business operations.

Local business owners are encouraged to conduct regular internal audits and ensure that staff undergo appropriate health screenings. Compliance with the law is not only a legal obligation but also a strategic move to maintain customer trust and brand reputation.
