Vendors operating at the Anamulenge Open Market in Outapi, Omusati Region, have expressed their dissatisfaction regarding the site of the market, as it is far from their potential customers.

They told the NBC News team that an entire day can go by without having sold anything, calling for the incoming councillor to at least put a taxi rank outside the market to increase the inflow of potential customers.

Vendors say the low number of customers at the market is affecting their livelihoods, as their daily profit is also negatively affected.

Business Today's team observed empty stalls at the market, a situation vendors say is because the market is far from potential customers.

Many vendors have reportedly decided to move their businesses close to the main road, where there is more movement of people.

The vendors have now turned their hope to the incoming town council to address their challenges for improved business activity.
