NewzInformal traders operating in several major Namibian towns are currently facing significant infrastructure challenges, specifically regarding access to basic sanitation, secure storage facilities, and adequate trading spaces. These conditions have created a difficult working environment for vendors who lack the necessary amenities to conduct business safely and hygienically.
