In April <em>TygerBurger<\/em> reported on compliance notices having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netwerk24.com\/netwerk24\/za\/tygerburger\/nuus\/compliance-notices-served-20220405-2\">been issued to some of these traders for contravening bylaws<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are approximately 11 traders au\u00adthorised to trade from the site along Plattekloof Road, Bothasig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere has been a change from the traders themselves, they try to comply,\u201d Alexander said at the meeting last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said however there are still one or two traders who want to do their own thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have law enforcement assisting quite a lot,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said sometimes impoundments are also carried out, but for most part the situation along Plattekloof Road is \u201cmuch better\u201d and the area is \u201cmuch cleaner\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe complaints are not as much as it used to be before, we have only one lady who still sends us emails though,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheryl Visser, councillor for Ward 1, said the area in Bothasig is not the only area for concern. Visser said elsewhere along Plattekloof Road informal traders also sleep overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said she would like law enforcement to take a look at the informal traders down the whole of Plattekloof Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visser said she also have received complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexander said law enforcement is aware of the issue and that she will raise the matter with the unit again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will request that they do a follow-up,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 113 which includes Killarney Gardens, Table View and Parklands is also an area where informal trading issues have been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joy Solomon, ward councillor, reported that there are a few illegal informal traders in her area. She said informal traders en\u00adcroach onto the private property of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said she is aware that there are capacity issues; that there are only four law enforcement officers who run around in the area and that she is aware that there is a specific informal traders unit which should be beefed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are in total four legal informal trading sites in Ward 113.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the last complaints about informal traders along Plattekloof Road, Bothasig in Ward 5, there has been some improvement in the area, an
