Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>DURING the fiscal year 2023\/24, the Ongwediva Town Council plans to build and open satellite trading facilities for informal traders in specific locations in and around Ongwediva.<\/p>\n

The construction of these facilities is expected to cost N$300,000.<\/p>\n

This decision comes after the council determined that starting from the 1st of March 2023, informal traders will no longer be allowed to sell goods in prohibited areas. Those who do not comply will face a fine of N$2,000, six months imprisonment, or both.<\/p>\n

Town Mayor Taarah Shalyefu stated that the council recognizes informal businesses as the backbone of the local economy and aims to create a conducive environment for them to thrive.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that this can only be achieved if public health and safety, environmental protection, and high standards of urban aesthetics are maintained.<\/p>\n

Shalyefu mentioned that during the 2022\/23 financial year, the local authority council held various consultative meetings with street vendors and other stakeholders to inform them about the planned implementation of Street Trading Regulations. These regulations are intended to regulate and confine street trading activities to designated areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response to the feedback we received, we have decided to construct and commission satellite trading facilities in designated locations in and around Ongwediva,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the existing Ongwediva Open Market will also be extended and upgraded at a cost of N$4.3 million to improve its appearance and provide additional trading spaces.<\/p>\n
