The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic reconfigured the political, social, and economic lives of individuals, communities, and nations, such as Zimbabwe. The lockdown measures that were introduced to contain the spread of the pandemic had some knock-on effects on the livelihoods of informal traders who earned a living through street vending. Deploying the resilience theory, this chapter examines the livelihood strategies adopted by informal traders in Cowdray Park in Bulawayo city during the Covid-19-induced lockdown. It highlights the various coping mechanisms employed by informal traders in order to survive. The study employed a qualitative methodology and data were collected using participant observation and unstructured interviews. The findings indicate that informal traders faced many challenges, such as harassment by the city officials and decline in household income. Despite these challenges, this study highlights that informal traders were not passive victims of the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Rather, they adopted various strategies, including night trading, online marketing, and smuggling of goods. The study offers insights for the government and policy makers to strongly support vulnerable populations such as informal traders during future crisis.
