Cairo and Chachacha roads no go areas for street vendors-Nkombo

Local Government Minister Garry Nkombo has declared Cairo and Chachacha roads as no go areas for street vendors.

Mr Nkombo says the council has only designated Lumumba and Freedom way as areas where street vending is allowed.

He tells QTV news that it has been noted that these vendors are not only selling merchandise such as clothes, but have also started cooking on the island of Cairo road and selling things such as beans and kapenta which he says is not right.

Mr Nkombo has since advised vendors to stick to designated areas, adding that there is enough trading spaces in Soweto market.

He adds that those citizens complaining of how dirty the city has become also have a role to play by stopping buying from vendors and buying from markets.
