Municipality improves informal trading conditions in town
With the aim of bettering the conditions of informal trading in town, the Department of Development, Planning & Human Settlements embarked on an initiative to re-mark the trading spots in the Ladysmith CBD.
Under the guidance of Alfred Duma Mayor Zama Sibisi, different stakeholders – including the Department of Public Safety & Emergency Services (by-law official) and the SAPS – partnered together on Wednesday (July 23) to paint and re-number the trading stands.

The purpose was to create a more organised and appealing trading environment, contributing to the growth and sustainability of informal businesses in the area.
Sibisi said this initiative reflects the municipality's commitment to empowering local entrepreneurs and fostering economic opportunities. 'By investing in the infrastructure and support systems for informal traders, Alfred Duma Local Municipality is laying the foundation for a more vibrant and inclusive local economy,' said the mayor.
