Council public relations Manager Tilyenji Mwanza

The Ndola City Council has found an alternative trading place for displaced street vendors who were trading in the Central Business District.

Council Public Relations Manager Tilyenji Mwanza says the identified place will accommodate about 400 traders.

Ms. Mwanza says the vendors will be allocated trading spaces by the council’s department of housing soon.

She has since advised the vendors not to pay any money to any individuals who will claim they will give them stands.

Ms Mwanza has further advised traders in the habit of returning to the streets after work hours to desist from doing so as street vending has been banned.
