Companies that have advertising billboards that are encroaching on private property or road verges should remove them within 48 hours, Harare City Council has said.
In a statement on Tuesday, the local authority expressed concern over mushrooming illegal billboards on road verges and private property.
By-laws make it illegal to erect billboards or any structure without permit and approved plans from City of Harare.
“Harare City Council has noted with concern the mushrooming of illegal billboards and illegal directional signage on council road verges.
“In this regard, you are hereby advised to remove the said illegal signage/billboards within 48 hours from the date of this notice,” reads part of the communique.
The notice also applies to roads jointly shared with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development.
The enforcement exercise will start on October 2.
