A market vendor who was asked to dismantle his stall recently in Nakasi, Nausori, will have to look for a job to send his two children to school.

Anare Johnson, 52, of Nataleira, Dawasamu, said he was not in a position to earn money and buy books, uniforms and stationery for his children.

“I am not able to prepare for my children’s back to school needs because I have to earn an income,” he said.

“I just bought a brush-cutter to cut grass.

“I think the Fiji Roads Authority wants to widen the road on the site where I was selling my produce so the council told us to dismantle the stall.

“For the past five years, I was selling my vegetables here and this was the only source of income for me and my family.”

Mr Johnson said he had no money at this stage to buy his children’s books, bags, uniform and stationery.

“I have to return to the village and look for some jobs there cutting grass.” |
