During his address at the launch event, Alderman Vos stressed the city’s commitment to understanding and addressing the needs of traders. “These upgraded facilities reflect our dedication as a City to provide traders with dignified, safe, and clean trading conditions,” he said, emphasizing the importance of supporting local businesses.
The Atlantis facility upgrade is part of a larger initiative by the City to improve informal trading spaces throughout the metropolitan region. With a budget of R184 million allocated for the next three years, the city plans to implement similar upgrades and enhancements to other trading sites.
Numerous projects are already in progress or scheduled to begin in the coming weeks, focusing on both the revitalization of existing sites in areas like Athlone, Blue Downs, and Philippi, and the establishment of new trading opportunities in communities such as Somerset West, Masiphumelele, and Pelican Park.
Alderman Vos expressed excitement for the potential these initiatives hold for local traders and the rejuvenation of underutilized areas. “These new sites will open up fresh opportunities for local traders and breathe new life into neglected spaces,” he stated.
One such example is the planned construction of a container trading market in Wallacedene, which will transform a site currently plagued by illegal dumping into a bustling marketplace.
In addition to infrastructural enhancements, the City actively engages in equipping traders and emerging entrepreneurs with valuable skills through various development programs. These programs cover a wide array of topics, such as how to do business with the City, product development, and digital marketing.
The combination of infrastructure upgrades and skill development programs highlights the City’s commitment to nurturing a thriving local economy, supported by empowered and skilled entrepreneurs.
Alderman Vos concluded his address by expressing gratitude to the local traders and community members in attendance at the launch event. “Thank you for being here today and for being business leaders in Atlantis and the greater city. You have all made a difference to Cape Town’s economic landscape, and you will all help us reach a better tomorrow,” he acknowledged.
