Informal traders in South Africa have taken to the streets of the country's economic hub, Johannesburg, protesting what they describe as "harassment" and "ill-treatment" by the metro's municipal authorities. The demonstration follows months of tension over the removal of hundreds of traders from areas within the Inner City Improvement District. City officials say the operation is aimed at promoting order and cleanliness, addressing safety risks, and enforcing bylaw compliance. However, affected traders argue that the clampdown has unfairly targeted legal informal businesses and threatened their livelihoods. Thami Ngubeni spoke to Matron Mhlanga, the General Secretary of the African Traders Organisation.
