Vendors at Inhambane’s Central Market have protested the encroachment of informal traders onto spaces designated for transport, leading to a display of goods outside the market. The vendors claim the unauthorized stalls are diverting customers and negatively impacting their income. Despite repeated complaints to market management, no resolution has been found. The protest highlights ongoing issues with unregulated informal trade within the market. The market opened approximately two years ago with promises of improved infrastructure and organization. This disruption threatens the livelihood of established vendors and underscores the need for effective management of market spaces. The situation remains unresolved as of reporting.
