Infrastructural development should not only involve the building of big roads that only link multinational corporations with harbours and airports, big stadiums and big shopping malls which do not directly benefit the poorest of the poor masses, but enable beneficiaries to also participate in the economic activity so as to sustain their livelihoods where they live.
Our meeting has reference: On the 27 February 2012. Hawkers, PAM and Metrorail
We strive to resolve the following on the Eviction.
1. Permit issuing to the hawkers trading on the platform.
2. No harassment by the security while negotiations are taking place thereby raising the bar of bad faith negotiations by Metrorail security.
3. Regional manager to brief security to halt their actions of harassment.
4. Identify an area for safety trading and not very far from their customers.
5. Temporary arrangements to suffice accommodating the traders.
6. The complainants felt to urgently approach the unfair safety regulator especially on the operational areas as no one could elucidate which area is for and not for operational.
7. The group felt that the law is outdated as it was promulgated during the years when no plans for the blacks were in existence to trade anywhere in the cities especially the trains were a symbols of segregation when blacks and whites were divided.
This is Apartheid law not a safety law as no one was hurt from the hawkers selling on the area. Metro rail has an opportunity to initiate this venture to benefit all stakeholders. Policies are reviewed by companies to live with times. It is the duty of a task team to see that hawkers don’t block the entry but trade in the amicable spaces notable for trading.
