Vendors running their informal businesses along the Hosea Kutako Drive in the Northern Industrial Area in Windhoek have moved to this location from Walvis Bay, Erongo Region, where the impact of COVID-19 devastated their enterprises.

The pandemic has been a nightmare for these small businesses that sell second-hand products, and many are struggling to stay afloat, while others have gone under. 

They have chosen this stretch along the busy road in the northern industrial area because they are determined to make a living and feed their families.
