Finally, Johannesburg is getting recovery from the disease inflicted by illegal immigrants and illegal traders who sell on the streets and in places where they are not supposed to. These traders often leave trash on the streets after they are done with their work even after trading there illegal. This shows how ungrateful these people can be.
Meanwhile, the government and some other groups have made a plan to get rid of these illegal immigrants and local traders littering the streets. They have been successful in some parts of the city, but there are still some places where they need to work.
The police in Johannesburg went to different places today to get rid of traders who are still selling on the streets. They took away the things that the traders were selling because they ran away when they saw the police coming. The traders were mainly selling things like bags, clothes, shoes, caps, and headbands that were fake.
The police also told the traders to go to the local government office and ask how to get permission to sell things.
