City of Cape
Town Mayor Patricia de Lille
This follows the forceful removal by three
metro police officers of 51-year-old blind busker Lunga Goodman Nono last month
at St Georges Mall.
De Lille said there needs to be an
environment that is appropriate and enabling for street musicians in the
city.
Mayoral Spokesperson Solly Malatsi
explains that on Wednesday before council the Mayor submitted a request to repeal
the policy for street musicians that dates back to 1993.
“She’s also requested that an economic
and environmental special planning portfolio consider possible revisions
regarding busking to our upcoming informal trading by law,” added Malatsi.
