informal traders protest 10

Protesting informal traders loot and vandalise the stalls of other traders who continued operating during a protest against alleged rights violations against informal traders, 5 August 2009, in Johannesburg. These violations included the alleged illegal impounding of their goods, an end to harrasment by those enforcing by-laws, reasonable rental rates for informal traders and proper consultation in the development of by-laws affecting them.
