    A year ago, the City of Johannesburg’s (“the City”) politicians and officials intimidated informal traders around Johannesburg Park Station and eventually removed them, claiming they were trading unlawfully. SERI has been representing them since 2013, and evictions happen every few years. This is partially because the City’s politicians do not fully accept or understand the role played by informal trading in our metro and individual households. I remember that we dispatched a letter to the City
