Street food in police spotlight

The Windhoek city police starting chasing down unregistered hawkers and vendors of people who sell their goods in the street. Two men Simon Elias and Lazarus Hamukoto were fined 500 dollars for selling illegally food in the northern industrial area. The two men have been selling boerewors rolls for the past two years .Hamukoto says he supports his wife and three children, his mother, grandmother and sisters from the money he got. Elias supports his four children with his earnings. Both men pay school fees, buy school uniforms and feed their families. These men are trying to make a living and no one will help those who depend on them .I think they should leave people to do their business because that is the only that they can survive. Actually they are doing a great job because they don’t want to eat from the dustbin and that’s the reason why they have chosen to sell their products at relatively low prices which is affordable to everyone. Windhoek city police should let people to sell their goods instead of them to go steal.
