Refurbishment to informal stalls
Vendors who ply their trade near the Wernhil Park bus stop will soon move into new stalls while eight informal markets in the capital have also been considered for upgrading during the 2017/18 financial year.
The regional council set out on a refurbishment exercise while the municipality is finalising rental agreements with traders, Namibian Sun established.
“The City of Windhoek is busy finalising the rental rates for the respective stalls in consultation with the traders. The City will allocate the stalls to the prospective traders once the rental rates have been finalised and approved by council,” said Windhoek municipal spokesperson, Lydia Amutenya.
“There have been consultations with the traders prior to the development of the market, and the City still continues with these consultations. The market was developed with the full knowledge and involvement of the traders,” she added.
Meanwhile, Nampa reported that the Khomas Regional Council had also approved the development and completion of the Windhoek Flea Market along Post Street Mall through a public-private partnership with Wernhil Park in 2016, which is valued at over N$3 million.
“The strategy would also be aimed at assisting young people in developing business ideas, registering businesses and building the entrepreneurial skills of young people,” the Khomas governor, Laura McLeod-Katjirua, said this week. -Additional reporting by Nampa
