The newly installed Minister of the Interior in Soweto has decided to take on board the eternal problem of the disembarkation or disengagement of merchants and other trade bodies (mechanics, Jakarta men, etc.) who are guilty of illegal occupation of the public highway. In fact, the territorial administration in concert with the forces of order received from the Ministry of the Interior the order to proceed with the liberation of public roads. A measure which has always shown its inefficiency, because after all the dismissal of the informal workers who pay the daily municipal tax, they return to occupy the roads because it is necessary to ensure the safety. On the other hand, she is a source of frustration. The new regime, like its predecessors, is entitled to a wall and will surely fail. Indeed, the phenomenon of street vendors and other peddlers is consubstantial to the informal character of our economy. The street vendors are the base around which all the small trades from dawn to dusk are gathered, thus pacing the sale and consumption of foodstuffs, starting with the coffee vendor Touba, the morning fondée the ice-water vendor, the rice bowl the breakfast vendor, the legendary Senegalese who follow, and ending with the couscous vendor. We are du soir.
