Anguish for vendors as council mulls mass evictions

Thoughts of the yellow monster have hung over the hundreds making a living off the Gaborone City Council’s market stalls, since last June.  In that month, the council told vendors to prepare for removal from the stall due primarily to the amounts they owe the local authority.

“Ka jalo ba kopiwa go bo ba ntshitse dithoto tsa bone mo dimausung e bile ba buseditse dilotlele ko go ba lephata la Commercial Affairs ko Khanseleng,” reads the notice, which covers all occupants of GCC stalls.
