It is really a fact that vending has come with it some undesirable effects such a chaotic and disorderly business practices. Nevertheless, we cannot afford to turn a blind eye on vending or even eradicate it, especially when taking into account the fact that our employment levels are on the minimum side.

This situation whereby the relationship between vendors and the local authorities is reminiscent of a 'cat and mouse affair' is unsustainable and does not benefit anyone. High costs are incurred in carrying out the fights, property at times is destroyed, there are injuries and in some rare cases fatalities and arrests are made.
