In striving to promote and entrench an inclusive economy in the City; the City remains sensitive to the plight of the poor while actively recognising the need to protect those who operate in this space of our economy legally.
As such; SANTRA’s leadership which has expressed its desire to work together with the City to find a solution to the temporary challenge of hawkers; will be meeting with the political leadership of Region F to discuss and collectively hammer out a solution in this regard. This will be done taking into account informal trading within a regulated framework notwithstanding the investigation and auditing of current permits which is currently being conducted by the forensic department.
