While the modern market awaits completion, street hawkers have been given a temporary market in Rwabayanga to quit Butare town streets.
Although they pay no taxes for this market place, hawkers still run to work on streets saying they make no sales in the market.
Apart from a few shoe and clothing sellers, others went back to street a few days after building stalls.
Olive Musabyimana, fruits hawker in Butare town narrates: "We come to the market in the morning but when we fail to make sales by afternoon, we risk losing our stock to local defence officials and go to the streets again."
Similarly, Clementine Mukamana who sells clothing says: "I spend the day in the market because I have a little baby, but if I don't go to town and sell something, my family can starve."
Vice Mayor in charge of social affairs in Huye district Christine, Niwemugeni affirms that if street hawkers settle in one market place, people would know them and start looking for them in that market and buy their goods.
She adds that the reason people do not go to that market is because hawkers are never there full time.
Vice mayor reveals that local defence will always be asked to force street hawkers to operate in places where they say clients don't find them.
