"Traders allocated stalls at the shade are kindly requested to take them up within seven days of the date of this notice failure to which, the allocations shall be considered cancelled," he said.
He said to ensure fairness in the resettlement action plan, all letters of allotment that were previously issued by the office of the city manager are hereby revoked and recalled effective immediately.
