MMC Tshwaku reaffirms the department’s unwavering support for street traders while underscoring the imperative of maintaining law and order. “De Villiers Street had become a disaster waiting to happen due to uncontrollable crowds, escalating crime rates, litter accumulation, and the presence of undocumented foreigners posing a clear security risk,” said MMC Dr Tshwaku.
