Malawi’s government mandates relocation from informal markets to the new Wakawaka Bypass Market, ending years of uncertainty.
Malawi’s Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Dr. Ben Phiri, visited the new Wakawaka Bypass Market in Lilongwe, drawing cheers from vendors long affected by unsafe, informal street vending conditions.
The 1.6-hectare market, built under a Build-Operate-Transfer model, offers improved safety and space, but relocation has been slow due to vendor uncertainty.
Phiri declared the existing informal market unlawful, announced official relocation notices, and mandated a joint council plan for a fair, transparent transition.
He emphasized legal compliance, dignity, and government support, marking a decisive shift from years of inaction.
Vendors welcomed the intervention as a long-overdue step toward stability and justice.
