Vendors lost their stock after a man allegedly burnt the \u2018Bend and Pick\u2019 storage facility in Manzini adjacent to the Manzini Bus Rank.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Trade will explore all possible avenues to assist businesses trading in the \u2018Bend and Pick\u2019 sector at the Manzini bus rank whose stock was completely burnt in the storage facility adjacent to the bus rank,\u201d said the Minister in a public statement released on Monday.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments, Mathokoza Sikhondze, the Coordinator of the Informal Traders described the sentiments of the Minister as a mere political statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment is doing literally nothing to assist informal traders.With this statement, the Minister wants to appear as if Government is taking care of the people,\u201d said the Informal Traders Coordinator.<\/p>\n
