‘It is unfortunate vending has now been criminalized, yet Zanu PF forced us into vending’.-National Vendors Union of Zimbabwe (Navuz)

THE VENDORS in Bulawayo have said Zanu PF’s failure to run the nation has led millions of people into vending.

National Vendors Union of Zimbabwe (Navuz) Bulawayo Chairman Obert Manduna said it is not by choice that they were in vending but was due to unemployment.He said it is unfortunate vending has now been criminalized.

“We are between a hard surface and a rock in a country with the highest rate of unemployment. Had the 2, 2 million jobs promised by the government in 2013 come to reality, we could surely be off the streets. But instead we have realised a creation of 2, 2 million vendors,” he said. source-byo24
