Vendors are back in the streets of old capital barely three weeks after Zomba City Council (ZCC) conducted an operation aimed at removing them.

ZCC’s Director of Finance, James Mafunga, said in an interview that the vendors are reluctant to follow the council’s arrangement.

Mafunga added that they had a meeting with the concerned vendors last week together with the police where they discussed on possible allocation procedure and they gave them one week to relocate which they have not done so. Next, they are meeting with the stakeholders on a way forward.
