Sanitation operation at Place Nyawera, Bukavu (South Kivu)
In an effort to guarantee security and solve traffic problems in the city of Bukavu, the authorities have launched a sanitation operation in the place commonly known as “Nyawera”. This operation, which began on Wednesday August 2, aims to ban the pirate markets that have settled around the square.
According to the provincial commissioner of the police in South Kivu, Roger Isiyo, this decision was taken because of the recurring traffic jams and the poor parking of vehicles caused by the goods spread along the road. This situation not only disrupts traffic, but also exposes residents to the risk of road accidents.
The clean-up operation aims to eliminate these clandestine markets and improve the fluidity of traffic in the area. The authorities thus hope to reduce the risk of accidents and facilitate the movement of the inhabitants of Bukavu.
Listen to the explanations of the new provincial police commissioner in South Kivu, Roger Isiyo:
“We have found that the pirate markets around Nyawera Square are causing traffic jams and traffic problems in the city. By banning these markets, we want to improve traffic flow and ensure the safety of residents. This sanitation operation is a first step towards improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of Bukavu.”
This initiative by local authorities is welcomed by the population, who hope to see a significant improvement in traffic and safety in the city. However, some informal traders are concerned about this decision, fearing for their source of income. The authorities ensure that they will put in place support measures to help these traders reorganize and find alternative solutions.
In conclusion, the sanitation operation at Place Nyawera in Bukavu aims to improve traffic and guarantee the safety of the inhabitants. However, it is important that the authorities put in place support measures to help informal traders affected by this decision. The population hopes to see the positive effects of this operation in the coming months
