Bulawayo faces big problems with street sellers who work without permits. These vendors spread from downtown into neighborhoods, making many areas dirty with trash. Councillor Moyo feels upset about how messy the city looks these days. She spotted garbage piles next to food sellers at the market. People sell food, cut hair, or deal with alcohol in the same spots without any rules.
Mayor Coltart wants better markets where sellers can work properly instead of just pushing them away. He says the city must give sellers good places with roofs for rain protection, clean floors, solar power for lights, fresh water, and bathrooms. The stalled Egodini Mall project needs to restart soon to help fix these issues. Bhaktas market shows promise but needs quick action to become useful. Deputy Mayor Ndlovu asks all people living in Bulawayo to help keep their areas clean.
The council remembers when Bulawayo looked much cleaner than it does today. Plastic bags cover the streets and roads everywhere you look. Most street sellers lack health permits, which creates risks for sickness among city people. Everyone agrees that better trash pickup must happen right away.
