SAITA gives us the opportunity to liaise on national and international stages and places our profile equally among those who have enjoyed the fruits of their statuses. But most importantly, it sets out to change the perceptions which government, local authorities and corporations have over many decades mistakenly garnered about our sector. SAITA brings together more than just members.
Our objective is to assist street traders to establish national alliances of street vendors, to enable them to speak with one voice in influencing policies and legislation for the benefit of street vendors and informal traders.
