Prisons and Correction services under fire for vending vegetables in the CBD without a licence

The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) has come under fire from the Bulawayo City Council and vendors for selling vegetables from its farm in the Central Business District. The ZPCS has no licence to sell vegetables. Bulawayo Vendors and Traders Association (BVTA) coordinator Thabang Nare said in a statement:

BVTA feels that this is short-changing vendors and informal traders who pay for their licences to the local authority.

We strongly condemn acts by ZPCS to invade vending spaces and sell cabbages in their official prisons trucks without getting approval from Bulawayo City Council.
