It was customary for sellers working in the central business area in Pollao yesterday, as they challenged the directing of the local authority to move to the newly -specific sales areas.
The council officials were also no offer to carry out the transportation process, which prompted the sellers to do their work unidentified.
The writer of Playwayo Town, Mr. Christopher Dobby, said in a statement on Wednesday that all merchants working along the fifth street will be transferred immediately to the Bhakta 2 site, located along LobenGula and 2nd Avenue Street.
However, early at 6 am, the sellers started doing their business, where they put their goods on the sidewalks of the city and along the fifth Avenue, taking into account the municipal police in the event of ease of transportation. Pushcart operators also went on their business from various points throughout the city.
While some sellers expressed their willingness to move if the operation was organized, others raised concerns about the expenses involved in transferring and establishing themselves in a new location. Others pledged not to move on the pretext that they had invested a lot in their business.
On Tuesday, the City Council announcement raised concerns about the sellers about their future, as many fear that this step can endanger their customer base.
“I can understand the intentions of the council, but they need to think about people who depend on this space. We are not only numbers, we are families. We rely on this street to cover their expenses.
“Some of us, if not most of us, widow and care for our extended families and families. Everything we do here has a long way to maintain our well -being,” said Miss Nomalanga Maphosa.
Another seller, who preferred not to be identified, said that the Bulawaiu City Council had lost his conscience, saying that forcing people to move without making pre -arrangements is inhuman.
“We have long been thrown on this issue. We have lost a lot of money for some of these alleged representatives from the council that guarantees us a safe space for work.” What happens after that? Not like BCC does not realize these arrangements because most of this money is paid to its employees, “the seller claimed.
Mr. Tendai Charuka, representative of the seller, said that the step in transporting the sellers will be welcome if the Council fulfills its obligations to build standard bays, with banners and ablution facilities.
He said: “The sellers will be ready to move if the angles or preferences of individuals and groups are not lost.
“However, if this is the fate, then let it be as long as all sellers are transferred in a peaceful and civilizational manner.”
He accused the local authority of taking advantage of directing the local ruling and Minister of General Daniel Garoi to evacuate the sellers from their workplaces.
“Minister Garoi spoke only about the night sellers. He said the move aims to address the increasing injury to the sale of the night throughout the country.
Mr. Charoka said: “The minister said in his statement that the increase in unorganized circulation in CBDS in the country resulted in the increase in pedestrian movement, the widespread step and turmoil of the companies that exist within the Convention on Biological Diversity, which made the cities not attractive to investors. Thus, what BCC is trying to do is not fair.”
The council also banned the payment vehicles of the Biological Diversity Agreement in line with the recent government guidance to rationalize the city and the city’s clear centers of illegal commercial activity.
The decision comes after widespread fears of illegal sales operations in cities and cities, including night sale and payment vehicles, which have been blamed for the frustration of official commercial operations, criminality accommodation, random garbage and violations of public health and safety regulations.
