F/Town vendors dare city council :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: Chairperson of the Central Market Association (CMA), Mogomotsi Moleele has revealed that they are not going anywhere until the local administrative council comes up with an alternative place for their relocation.

This comes after the Francistown City Council (FCC) issued a notice for all the vendors at the Francistown Central Market (FCM) place to vacate the area by May 31, 2021, so that they can pave way for the identified developer, Amasa Civils (Pty) Ltd. The company was granted a lease by the FCC to develop a new state-of-the-art building, which would match the modern construction techniques.

When Mmegi team visited FCM place earlier this week, it was business as usual although the vendors were given a warning to vacate the area. For years, the FCC has tried to relocate the informal traders without success.
