| African Council of Hawkers & Informal Businesses, (HO) ACHIB | Formed
in the 1980s, ACHIB started by successfully negotiating with the Johannesburg
City Council for the rights of street vendors to trade in certain areas of
the city. ACHIB spread to other cities around South Africa, and developed
itself as a small business development organisation, raising funds from big
business in joint ventures for small business development. ACHIB works
closely with the Johannesburg-based Law
Review Project which has been brought into many municipalities as
ACHIB's legal advisors to help frame street trade bylaws. It often provides services for its
members, such as a street vendors bank in KwaZulu-Natal which makes
short-term credit available to street vendors, in partnership with Richards Bay Minerals, which also
initiated a very successful small business advice centre as a community
initiative. Other initiatives
have been less successful. ACHIB applied to the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) for affiliation, mainly because of the need for influence in economic policy-making and the need for international connections. |
ACHIB deals with municipalities where it has members among the street vendors. When the Licensing Act was still in operation in South Africa, ACHIB acted as an intermediary in many cities assisting its members to get licences. They negotiated with municipalities for trading space for their members, as well as facilities such as storage space, preferring to secure the use of containers for their members to sub-lease storage space to other vendors. ACHIB sometimes negotiates with municipalities on a bilateral basis and sometimes within forums of street traders organisations.Represents its members at all levels of Government; | Street
vendor banks making credit available in some areasACHIB has the following to
offer: Offers financial loans from R250 up to R18 000 through the Land Bank; Offers free legal aid and representation on business related matters only; Offers a membership card which gives members discounts at major whole salers and retail chain stores; Members Funeral Benefit Structure. |
ACHIB's structures in different parts of South Africa vary. There does not always appear to be a common approach. ACHIB has a national presence. | ||||

following issues have been addresses in negotiations between Enclodek and the
Cape Town City Council: - security of tenure; - shelters; - condition of tables and changing rooms; - security guards for the trading area; - cleaning staff and rubbish bins; - staffing of storage areas; - availability of the market manager of the area; - marketing and promotion of the area.

Active participation in any issues that affect the street vendors. The main issues facing street vendors in the Philippines are security in the workplace, non-recognition of street vendors, demolition, police extortion. There is no legal provision for street vendors because of the non-recognition of street vending. The policy of Government and local authorities with regards to street vendors is tolerance. If there are no complaints they do not demolish, but if there are complaints they will drive us away. There is no social security scheme provided for street vendors because we are not recognized by the national and local authorities. |
