The Department has engaged with Waterberg District and Bela – Bela Local Municipality to ascertain the potential damage and the envisaged assistance needed to support the street vendors in Bela – Bela. All three stakeholders have agreed to have formal discussions to assist the Bela Bela local Municipality to apply for the shared economic infrastructure facility to build stalls or containers for the informal business. Once such engagements have taken place, a permanent solution will be found to address this situation.
