Informal traders on Tuesday slammed the City of Cape Town on its failure to consult with them.

Close to 200 vendors gathered outside the Cape Town Civic Centre for a demonstration.

Most were upset over being banned from trading on the Grand Parade for three months next year when they have to make way for a FIFA fan park.

They argued the city was taking away their livelihood.

The traders said the fan park would not benefit them, adding the city was playing with their daily bread.
