As a nation, we need to normalise living and working in clean, orderly spaces. Minister Garwe is working flat out to make our city clean. The least we can do is support him. It’s not war. It’s for our people’s safety. @Patsime_Zw @enkudheni @KingJayZim @JMafume @DumbuchenaM

There is nothing to dismiss there.Its all clear.He must answer simple questions... 1)How many vendors are in Harare? 2)How many vending stalls are in Harare?? The equation doesn't balance

in Mandara we have issues, those given stands @ Old Mandara shops for stands have not developed. They’re no formal shops. Can council retake the shopping stands for public good & sell to those with capacity and/or build vending stores with toilets & let vendors pay for use

A trader at Kumasi-Adum says that the traders take full responsibility for today's devastating fire incident at Adum and that the Ghana National Fire Service should not be blamed. According to her, the traders, including herself, have built structures in small spaces, congesting the area and making it inaccessible for firefighters, which led to the fire rapidly spreading to several structures and nearby buildings. She added that the firefighters did their best within their capacity.

WATCH | Vendors should respect our property, Borrowdale residents say …… residents decry property value depreciation HARARE — Borrowdale residents, one of Harare’s high-end, wealthy residential neighbourhoods, have called on vendors who have sprouted across the low-density suburb to move to formally designated vending areas, decrying the unchecked proliferation of informal markets is threatening the market value of their heavily invested properties. Speaking to ZiFM Stereo News on the sidelines of a feedback meeting in Borrowdale, Ward 18 Councillor Rufaro Matsika said the mushrooming vending sites, particularly around Helensvale, Drew Road, Chisipiti, along highways and byways, and at private residences’ doorsteps, were eroding the character of the suburb, while residents feared this could leave homeowners nursing losses on investments built up over the years. She added that residents were not opposed to vending, since it has been a source of livelihood for many people trying to earn a living, but wanted trading to be properly regulated. “We now need to work together, the vendors, the residents and ourselves as the local authority, to see amicable ways of maybe trying to alleviate that,” Matsika said. Councillor Matsika said Ward 18 had already identified potential sites for formal vending, although the available spaces would not be sufficient to accommodate every trader. “We just want maybe those who are from here, this area, who want to be vendors, those are the ones we can accommodate.” She said illegal vending and the sale of illicit goods and drugs required urgent attention. “Vendors are a part of us, but illegal vendors operating on undesignated places, selling illegal goods and drugs, we are at war,” she said. Borrowdale Residents and Ratepayers Association chairperson Robert Mutyasira warned that allowing food vendors to operate from every corner without access to water and sanitation facilities could expose residents to serious public health risks. “From a certain space, they must have ablution facilities and they must have water and they must be accountable to the local district office,” Mutyasira said. The concerns also come against the backdrop of a broader government push to restore order to Zimbabwe’s urban spaces, with Local Government and Public Works Minister Daniel Garwe calling for the removal of vendors operating illegally. The government has argued that uncontrolled vending is undermining Zimbabwe’s modern-city aspirations, while also frustrating waste-management efforts.

In July, we shutdown trading at the Marabastad Retail Market because most of the traders were non-compliant. We were back at the market today for some good news. Trading has resumed. The City has worked with vendors to train them and to ensure they complied with by-laws. Traders have certificates of acceptability and first aid kits visible inside their stalls. They’ll all be issued with trading certificates. When we shutdown this market our intention was not to kill small businesses. Our objective is to ensure that businesses that operate in Tshwane do so lawfully in the best interest of the public. Along with MMC for Economic Development and Spatial Planning, Cllr Sarah Mabotsa, we are pleased with the work done by officials to turn this market around. City of Tshwane

The Ministry has intensified efforts to maintain public infrastructure by dislodging individuals who have turned the Abule Ado Pedestrian Bridge into a place of residence. Pedestrian bridges are meant to ensure the safety and convenience of road users, not to serve as makeshift shelters. This exercise is in continuation of our commitment to keeping these structures accessible, clean, and free from unlawful occupation, ensuring that Lagos remains a well-organized and livable city for all. #ZeroToleranceLagos

JULY 31: IT'S BUSINESS AS USUAL IN HARARE CBD Harare – Businesses in Harare's Central Business District (CBD) are expected to operate normally on July 31, with vendors, transport operators and rank marshals indicating that they intend to continue with their daily activities. Several vendors interviewed in the CBD said their priority is earning a living to support their families. One vendor said they were choosing to continue working, adding that they appreciated economic opportunities available to them and embraced the President's mantra, "Nyika Inovakwa Nevene Vayo" ("A nation is built by its own people"). Harare Province Secretary for Security, Cde Ebson Dumburashe, said security services would be deployed to help maintain public order and ensure that people are able to go about their normal business. "It is business as usual, and we are here to ensure that people are not disturbed as they conduct their day-to-day businesses. The President is aware that many citizens earn their livelihoods through vending and public transport services. Law enforcement agencies and security services will be available to help maintain peace and respond to any incidents that may threaten public safety," he said. He encouraged members of the public to report any suspicious activities or individuals allegedly attempting to incite unlawful conduct, and cautioned citizens against participating in illegal activities in exchange for financial inducements, warning that such actions could have serious legal consequences. Authorities say they remain committed to maintaining peace and ensuring that residents can carry out their daily economic activities in a safe and secure environment.

#Watch | The shifting of 21 government offices, including the partial relocation of the Civil Secretariat from central Srinagar to the city’s peripheral areas, has drawn a mixed response from traders and the public. The move is part of the Srinagar Master Plan-2035. While traders and transporters are seeking a mechanism to ensure that the relocation does not adversely affect their business interests, many residents who spoke to GKTV said the location of government offices matters less than the speedy redressal of public grievances.

The happenings in the CBD earlier today were most unfortunate. This is not the way to treat Nairobians as we have continually implored our officers to treat Nairobians with Dignity. We have had cordial relations with informal traders for a year but lately there have been unfortunate incidences that seek to sabotage that. We will take disciplinary action. I have ordered the immediate release of all confiscated items, apologized to the traders and personally compensated each of them to the tune of 10,000 shillings each. Even if the traders were operating without the required documentation, including a Medical Certificate from Public Health that every food handler must have for the safety of Nairobians, they did not deserve such treatment and we are dealing with this internally. Poleni sana.

The Executive Director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCAUG), Hajjat Sharifah Buzeki, says the authority has secured 1,980 market spaces outside Kampala as part of government efforts to enforce trade order in the city. Speaking at City Hall, Ms Buzeki said the spaces are meant to accommodate street vendors ahead of the February 19, 2026, deadline to vacate city roads. “We have provided 1,980 spaces outside Kampala to ensure that no vendor is left without an alternative. The time for operating on the streets is coming to an end,” she said. KCCA currently manages 17 public markets within the city and 69 privately owned markets. Ms Buzeki urged vendors to relocate voluntarily before the enforcement begins. “No one should claim there is no space. Markets are available both within and outside the city,” she emphasised. The directive, issued on February 5, followed concerns over congestion, poor sanitation, and public safety. 📹Shabibah Nakirigya #MonitorUpdates
