JHB Informal Traders to Benefit from WC

Informal traders within the City of Johannesburg stand to score big during the 2010 FIFA World Cup if they adhere to the international soccer body's by-laws.

In a press statement, the city’s spokesperson, Sibongile Mazibuko, says that, "Though trading will not be permitted in exclusion zones around the stadiums on match days, new opportunities are being created for traders to benefit from being situated in high-fan traffic areas."

Mazibuko has advised informal traders to join programmes designed by the Department of Economic Development (DED) to help coach them through the tournament.
