By Own Correspondent| Independent legislator for Norton constituency has implored government to address the issue of unemployment first before chasing away vendors from the city centre arguing that they have not in any way contributed to the cholera outbreak.

Addressing parliament (Wednesday), Mliswa said removing vendors from the streets without giving them alternative employment would not solve anything.

Said Mliswa:

“Vendors are not to blame for cholera and removing them from the streets without giving them an alternative source of livelihood will not solve anything.

Focus should be on employment creation and not chasing away vendors from the streets.”
