Vending must be formalised, taxed

A LOT of revenue must be raised through taxation of informal traders. These people are causing a lot of havoc in the economy. Surely, how can someone not be paying anything into the national purse and left to increase prices of goods willy-nilly?

These so-called informal traders who do not even have a hawker’s licence are increasing prices of goods in a manner akin to economic sabotage, causing instability in the country.

These people must be arrested or made to pay more than formal traders because they are profiteering in a usurious manner.

I think another Operation Murambatsvina is now very necessary targeting only tuckshop owners, especially in areas such as Chitungwiza and Epworth.

I think the people operating shops in these places are being funded to do what they are doing. They must be made to contribute to the Treasury. Developing our country needs every citizen playing their part by paying tax.
