WE HAVE A PLAN FOR MARKETEERS AND STREET VENDORS– MUDOLO
Kitwe, 07/10/2025
Presidential aspirant Willah Joseph Mudolo says he has a growth-oriented plan for Zambia`s marketeers. In a statement released today, Mudolo said marketeers are the conduit and backbone of the nation`s micro economy. He has recognized the important role marketeers play in ensuring goods and services are availed to local communities despite the challenges and hardships around them.
“Marketeers across the country have for a long time been neglected and left to conduct business in poor conditions. Infrastructure in most areas is dilapidated or non-existent beside the fact that traders and street vendors lack access to affordable funding and financial literacy programs.” Mudolo said.
“We have a plan to address all these challenges and ensure our Marketeers and vendors have access to affordable capital and financial literacy programs. These people at Chisokone, Nakadoli, Soweto, mtendere and other markets countrywide, are our mothers and youths and family at large. I come from a family of marketeers.
My mother was a marketeer in the village, and I have long understood the challenges in that sector. We will support them and ensure they thrive and grow. We want our marketeers to graduate from selling in makeshift stalls to operating their own mini and supermarkets. The potential for growth is immense. Our people are hardworking and innovative.” He stated.
Mudolo has lined up bold plans that include modern infrastructure, revolving funds for marketeers and vendors, as well as financial literacy and business growth programs.

This is a good realization but a really hard one to crack. Yes, the infrastructure in all markets must be improved and expanded. Mindset should also change so that facilities and amenities are used properly. In some instances marketeers abandon stands in markets to sell on roadsides where there are no proper amenities. Look at how the Chainda market in Avondale near Meanwood Chainda has grown. Where do people go for toileting? In Chelstone, people from Kamanga and Mudendere are all over the streets selling merchandise living the place filthy when they return to their compounds. There is a lot of work to be done here…before people start claiming that politicians are not interested in their welfare. Motorist and other road users must also desist buying from these people trading in un gazetted places. Good luck with this one. Hope you can also deal with issue of mini bus drivers parking and picking passengers anywhere. UPND as the incumbent party should equally be interested in this issue.
Another con-man emerging by the name of madolo.Why Zambia,what did we do to deserve all this nonsense?Who is Madolo?Careful with such characters positioning themselves to be our president.Take them as opportunists with nothing to offer.Mr Madolo come back in 2046 we hear your story
He seems to be out of touch with reality. Too much time spent away from home.
Anyway let’s have the details of your plan for our assessment. Mere pronouncements are not enough. Anyone can claim to deliver the moon once elected.
