“…The conditions for hosting the World Cup included the creation of 'exclusion zones' two kilometers radius around each of the World Cup venues to give FIFA, and its sponsors, the exclusive right to distribute, sell or advertise products and provide services. FIFA's major partners including Visa, Sony, Adidas, Coca-Cola, and McDonalds pay $10 and $25 mn per year to gain access to such zones (Ivester, 2015).…”

“…However, in June 2013, the Brazilian Congress assented to the 'World Cup Law' to create a two-kilometer 'exclusion zone' around each of the World Cup host stadia. In addition, FIFA used private security services to control the movement of people, and also to disallow the sale of goods not listed by FIFA (Ivester, 2015).…”

The objective of the article was to evaluate the measures employed by city authorities in response to street trading using qualitative research and case study approach from spatial perspective. As most countries aim at meeting the standards of the urban forms similar to that of the developed countries, the most common approach often adopted by most city authorities is exclusionary management approach, often informed by the challenges posed by street trading. However, in most cases, the use of exclusionary management practices has not been successful as traders return to their previous trading after the exercise due to their inability to find alternative sites or jobs. Thus, the need to adopt an alternative approach to deal with the challenges associated with street trading, and to harness the benefits of street trading is paramount. Against this backdrop, the article sheds light on the benefits of street trading, and inclusionary management practices toward street trading.

“…In South Africa, during the World Cup 2010, as part of the agreement between FIFA and the host cities, wide exclusion zones around both the stadia and the 'fan parks' were created. Such exclusionary practices prevented street traders from using their usual trading sites to the advantage of the official sponsors of the world cup (Ivester, 2015). Similarly, in order to show readiness for the president of the United States, Barack Obama, on his assumption to the office of the presidency and his maiden visit to Africa all illegal trading stalls in Accra were demolished.…”

Evidently, street trading has become entrenched in our urban space, livelihood support for many, but also poses a challenge to the urban landscape. Hence, the aim of the paper was to assess the benefits and the challenges that characterise street trading, and how they have informed the management approach towards street trading in Durban. The research adopted a mixed research approach to accomplish the research objectives. The survey revealed that the challenges (59.47% of the respondents) posed by street trading were greater than the benefits (57.43% of the respondents) posed by street trading. However, of all the perception indicators, street traders as a source of employment received the most favourable response. Out of the 308 respondents, 306, representing 99.35% agreed to the idea that street trading provides employment.

“…Indeed, research discussion ofng issues such asof human-rights violations, community exclusion, and segregation that haves been caused by mega-events such as the Olympic Games and the men's FIFA World Cup is becoming prolific in tourism and events research. Authors such as Ivester (2015), Horne (2018), as well asand Carrington (1998) have discussed concerns such as the temporary social and cultural cleansing during the hosting of mega-events that hasve been carried out in order to promote an improved image of destinations to tourists via televised event coverage. In many cases such oppressive behaviour has been imposed by both national governments and international bodies in order to guarantee the 'safety' of the event, as well as the commercial agreements (and legacies) between sport organizsation and hosting country.…”
