@dekoskyglobal: In a decisive enforcement operation, the City of Joburg has removed illegal street traders who had been blocking pavements and violating municipal by-laws in central Johannesburg. The cleanup, which targeted congested hotspots like Bree Street and the taxi ranks, aims to restore pedestrian safety, improve access for emergency services, and reclaim public spaces for lawful use. While officials emphasized that relocations to designated trading zones are offered, the crackdown has sparked debate over the balance between urban order and the livelihoods of informal vendors, with authorities vowing to sustain the operation to prevent a relapse into lawlessness. #JoburgCleanUp #ReclaimOurCity #ByLawEnforcement #SaferStreetsJHB #CentralJoburg
