Africa-Press – Angola. The process of registering saleswomen to fill vacancies in 114 formal markets continues as normal in Luanda.
In progress since last January, the initiative essentially aims to combat and discourage commercial activity in unauthorized locations in the country’s capital.
For this purpose, 60,000 vacancies are available in 114 markets, of which 2,500 stands in the municipality of Luanda and more than 30,000 in Cazenga.
The plan, which started on Avenida Fidel de Castro, involves four municipalities, in this case Viana, Cacuaco, Belas and Talatona, where the Government of Luanda creates conditions for the practice of selling in authorized places.
According to the coordination of the process, each saleswoman will have the opportunity to choose the market in which she wants to be included, taking into account, mainly, her area of residence.
Initially, saleswomen are being included in the markets of São Paulo and Chapada, both in the urban district of Sambizanga and Rangel, two of the most popular.
Registration takes place daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, at the São Paulo market, but if it is impossible for a saleswoman to arrive at this location, she can go to another, in order to be registered.
On the first day of the process, 2,624 street vendors from Avenidas Ngola Kiluanje and Avenida Cónego Manuel das Neves, in the municipalities of Luanda and Cazenga, were registered.
Of this number, 405 were included in the São Paulo market, in a quick process that allowed them to start selling their products last Tuesday.
According to the coordination of the process, the classification of the saleswomen can be done from the moment they register (documentary registration, with a copy of the identity card and photograph), and the work only ends until the withdrawal of all vendors from inappropriate locations.
In terms of the province of Luanda, the places with the highest flow of disorderly sales are the avenues Cónego Manuel das Neves and Deolinda Rodrigues, as well as Vila de Viana, Vila de Cacuaco and Gajajeira (Bairro São Paulo).
Selling in inappropriate places affects car traffic and puts the lives of these saleswomen at risk, with several reports of traders losing their lives on the roads of Luanda.
The Commerce Reorganization Plan aims to reposition commercial establishments, eliminate the constraints arising from sales in inappropriate locations, put an end to the proliferation of illegal retreading, reorganize taxi and bus stops.
On Cónego Manuel das Neves and Ngola Kiluanje avenues, more than 100 police officers, 150 inspectors and 10 benches were allocated for the registration of vendeiras.
