Street vendors around Windhoek have expressed concern over a decline in business activity during the festive season.

Goods and services typically become cheaper during festive season as retailers offer discounted prices.

Vendors in the capital say this hardly helps their plight, as they often end up going back home without selling anything.

Customer numbers in Windhoek have dropped, as is typical over this period, as most people have either travelled back to their respective regions or gone on vacation.
