Vendors were left stunned today after the City of Harare demolished illegal Structures which vendors relied on as shelter for selling their goods.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police was also present as it helped to chase out vendors who were around the area.

Last week the city of Harare also left Ashdown Park residents stunned after a bulldozer mowed down their houses.

Like councils in other urban areas of Zimbabwe, Harare city council is facing a rise in illegal settlements which have emerged as powerful businessmen known as land barons have parceled out without proper planning and approval.
