EMPD steers a by-laws enforcement operation
Illegal hawkers were also advised on how on obtain appropriate documentation.
The EMPD Bronberg conducted a by-laws enforcement operation on October 25.
The EMPD acknowledged a complaint received about homeless persons seeking shelter in an abandoned building, situated in isolation on Vlei Road.
Officers conducted a survey and since the place was deemed not safe for habitation, two men had to evacuate the dwelling.
Further arrangements were made with local social workers to intervene.

Furthermore, at an intersection of Pretoria and Vlei streets, five hawkers found trading illegally (without any form of documentation or permit), and who were warned previously, were again advised on which steps to take to obtain the necessary documentation.
They were also issued with written notices for non-compliance.
The EMPD urges all vendors to visit their nearest customer care centre to obtain valid trading permits and to avoid prosecution.
