Deputy Minister Albert Mavhunga checked out Victoria Falls vending spots and said they look decent but need upgrades to match Zimbabwe's tourism reputation. The government wants illegal street vendors gone and formal markets turned into legitimate trading zones that actually contribute to GDP while hitting Vision 2030 targets.
Housing Director Brian Nyamande mentioned vendors are getting squeezed by Zambian traders who cross the border and sell door-to-door instead of staying in designated areas. The city council is cracking down on nighttime illegal vending and trying to keep things clean for tourists.
Victoria Falls officials are working on budget plans aligned with the National Development Strategy 2 to make vendor facilities look less sketchy and more like an upper-middle-income economy setup.
