A number of illegal vendors in Harare have heeded calls by the city officials to leave the streets for designated sites, although there are some still resisting the move.
A survey by The Herald yesterday revealed that most of those who have moved out were trading from tents that were pulled down by council last week.
But cellphone dealers, vegetable vendors and some dealing shoes, clothes and belts are still selling in front of shops mostly pronounced along Robert Mugabe Road, First Street, Angwa Street and Kwame Nkrumah Avenue. Municipal police, who are still deployed on the streets, were moving around ordering the illegal vendors to move out, but there were no incidents of violence and physical confrontation like before.
The city’s principal communications officer Mr Michael Chideme yesterday said municipal police would remain deployed until sanity prevailed.
