Harare Vendors Stock Foodstuffs In Public Toilets

Harare Vendors Stock Foodstuffs In Public Toilets

Some vendors operating in Harare’s central business district (CBD) have reportedly been storing their products, which include perishable items like vegetables, bottled water, and soft drinks, inside public toilet facilities overnight. They then proceed to sell these same products to unsuspecting consumers the following day.

According to a recent report by NewsDay, the vendors allegedly pay fees of up to US$5 to Harare City Council caretakers, who in turn permit them to keep these foodstuffs stored in the toilet facilities overnight, ostensibly for safekeeping.

A council caretaker who spoke to NewsDay on condition of anonymity said their arrangement with vendors is a win-win one. Said the caretaker:

We usually collect up to US$5 per night depending on the stock and sometimes they give us tomatoes or vegetables equivalent to US$2.

We use that money for transport to and from work because our salary is too little to take us for a month. Besides transport, we can also buy bread going home.

Sometimes a vendor can opt to give you vegetables, tomatoes or fruits as a token of appreciation.

Usually, we put their stuff inside empty boxes but it’s not every day.

It’s not easy to work as a caretaker at the council toilets. One has to be clever to the extent of making their own receipt books and collecting those few cents to take home.

However, now that there are mobile toilets situated near council toilets, it’s difficult to make money because people prefer those mobile toilets.

City of Harare’s director of health services, Prosper Chonzi, said:

It’s totally unacceptable, and unhealthy and this should be stopped. Those people who are conniving with the vendors should really be brought to book and brought to account because they are a danger to the health of the public at large.

In Zimbabwe, the informal sector, including street vendors, makes up a significant portion of economic activity in urban areas like Harare.

Estimates suggest hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Zimbabweans, are employed in the informal sector across the country in both urban and rural areas.

Dai ZANU yakarongeka. ichigona kutonga like Smith used to, dai vanhu vaine mabasa, vane mari, vachitenga in proper shops, vending wouldn't be an issue. During Smiyhs time Groceries. bread, milk juices, mealie meal etc were delivered to your doorstep. People selling green mealies,vegetables etc used to go around townships selling their wares. People had no reason to buy tomatoes, onions fruit from town. in short ZANU is to blame since 1980

I was in Harare two weeks ago, I passed at mbare musika and what I saw was terrible They vendors there sell their fruits and vegetables from the mudy ground. They don't put theirs products on top of pallets, shelves or something like what I see in bulawayo. Harare is a dirty place. Byo city council is excellent in terms of smartness

Why doesn't the government implement the measures taken by the Smith regime.Some useless people need to go back to the reserves.

And who's to be judge of the usefulness of persons ? You I guess ?. Start by growing your infantile brain , there are lots of humanitarian initiative taken by those erstwhile Racists , If they (as bad as they were) have learnt that humans are humans regardless of race, ethnicity, social status/class , and financial status , what keeps you from learning? You can gain a better viewpoint. Those people that you derogatorily call useless are a symptom of the failure of your government to create an atmosphere conducive to ethical conduct in business . It is now almost imposible for one to survive and keep one's morals. The disease is Zanu PF . Tackle the cause not the symptom .
