Southern Province Minister has ordered that only Air Time and Newspaper traders are to be found on the streets as vendors in a directive given to Siavonga District Council District Planner. The Local authority has been given a seven days ultimatum to get rid of Street Vendors in accordance with statutory instrument No.134 of 1992.
And Siavonga District Planner Officer Trophius Kafunga explained that the Minister ordered the district council to remove vendors from the street for the district to maintain its standard as a tourist town.
Mr. Kafunga disclosed that some street vendors will be relocated to Kanyelele, Mitchel, and Game markets where stands for vegetables are laying idle.
He said some of the vacant stands at Kanyelele market are being used for selling furniture by carpenters.
And Siavonga Member of Parliament (MP) Darious Mulundu has also advised the Local authority to sensitize street vendors on the seven days ultimatum given by the Minister to move from the streets.
Mr. Mulundu however, refuted claims that Saivonga district did not welcome the development of constructing a shopping mall and that it was given to Chirundu district.
If you give them an inch they’ll soon add themselves a whole meter…therefore NO STREET VENDORS of any type – all should be in designated marketplaces.
No street Por.n!
Get those talk time ntembas also they are an eye sore
It’s, remember the Washer’s donk story. Don’t allow them.These ntembas left in the streets of Lusaka are subtracting beauty.I mean those airtime and mobile money ntembas
As long as you have enough space to relocate every one of them immediately. Don’t displace them and then tell them to wait for a market to come up… they need to feed their families! Lusaka has been careless enough!
Nice to talk about street vendors.
PLEASE do not be selective a vandor is a vandor Remove all those MTN,airtell, zoona booth ,talk time sellers and shop owners who display goods outside shops etc all these if you get them confiscate just like you do to people selling groundnuts,pineapples, bananas,sweet potatoes.Please if you leave these then it will be fair you leave them also.its sad seeing council police chasing mother with baby at the back ,pregnant woman,getting food which police start rating just few meters from the area.This is a sad issue please plan how it should be done not this nonsense from councils
zero tolerance was going to be the best.than to allow airtime for foreigners in the street..
So which toilets will they be using?
