Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Three people were injured in a clash with Gondola police during a protest involving hundreds of vendors demanding better working conditions in this municipal town.<\/p>\n

Informal traders set up barricades on National Road 6 (EN6) to protest against their removal from the 25 de Setembro Market in Gondola. The sellers say that the new location assigned to them by the town hall does not have the necessary conditions to carry out their activity.<\/p>\n

The police quelled the demonstration using live bullets. Three people were injured, one seriously, and 21 protesters were arrested.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are arriving here and they scared us with shots,\u201d said Nogueira Paulino, one of the vendors who took to the streets to protest. \u201cWe don\u2019t have other jobs. Without selling, what do we eat?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lack of dialogue<\/b><\/p>\n

Mercado 25 de Setembro is located beside the EN6, one of the most important corridors in Mozambique, which connects with hinterland countries such as Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia and Botswana.<\/p>\n

Vendors are demanding the local municipality provide better conditions for plying their trade. They ask for improved stalls more appropriate to their respective business, changing rooms, and the paving of walkways.<\/p>\n

Manuel Pinto, another of the protesters, says that Gondola mayor Arlindo Ngozo had failed to explain to vendors why the vendors were being moved to the new location. \u201cThey didn\u2019t warn us that we had to leave, and our products are in the warehouse,\u201d he complains.<\/p>\n

Municipality recognizes flaws<\/b><\/p>\n

Mayor Arlindo Ngozo acknowledges that there were flaws in the process. \u201cActually, we had already promised the construction and requalification of the new market, but there was a delay on our part because the contracted company did not meet the deadlines,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe population is rightly outraged. But we will have one of the best markets in the centre of the country here in Gondola in the near future,\u201d the mayor said.<\/p>\n

Manica police spokesman M\u00e1rio Arna\u00e7a said that the corporation was forced to use live ammunition to disperse the protesters because they were blocking traffic on the EN6.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police can legitimately use any means, such as firearms, handcuffs and all material legitimised by law,\u201d Arna\u00e7a stressed. \u201cThe police found it appropriate to act in that way in order to do a persuasive job and avoid the worst, and public order, security and tranquillity were restored.\u201d<\/p>\n
