adminsurvey by The Herald this week showed that the textbooks had been removed but were being sold secretly on request. Vendors said it will be difficult for them to stop selling the books as they were surviving on vending.
“We are no longer displaying the books because you never know when they (police) will strike. It is difficult for us to discard the books just like that because we also bought them with the intention of reselling,” said one vendor.
Other vendors said police should arrest those who were suppliers of the books.
“We are only small fish and there are big people out there who are supplying us with those books. We are also not aware of where they are getting them. We just buy them because they are cheap and we also want to earn a living,” another vendor said.
Education, Sport, Arts and Culture Minister David Coltart, warned the vendors saying he had engaged the Ministry of Home Affairs to arrest the vendors.
