Hohola market protest

 Protesters, mostly women, youths and children, were among the crowd that turned up at yesterday’s opening of the Lareva market at Hohola 2, brandishing placards protesting the new facility. The protesters said the new location was incomplete without proper toilet and water facilities. A placard held by women and children also said women’s safety was not guaranteed. A petition to that effect was given to NCD Governor Powes Parkop six months ago to no avail. But, yesterday, Parkop assured the vendors that proper water and toilet facilities would be attended to immediately.
