By Own Correspondent| The City of Harare on Saturday reportedly demolished illegal tuckshops at Mbare Musika bus terminus.

Eyewitnesses confirmed to ZimEye that tuckshops near the ZUPCO offices in Mbare were demolished but could not confirm that City of Harare demolished the structures.

Said one Zanu Pf stalwart from Mbare:

“We took heed of the notice by the Harare City Council to bring sanity to this area and we are demolishing the structures ourselves in anticipation that we will be relocated to designated areas.”

However, other sources alleged that he structures were demolished by Harare City Council officers.

Said the source:

“The place is an eyesore and it harbours criminals at night which is why there is need for Murambatsvina. I doubt if council realises any revenue from these Zanu pf supporters conaidering that they have literally taken over council space and duties in this area.”

On Friday, City of Harare warned owners of the tuckshops that they should remove their illegal structures “urgently”.

Said Harare City Council in a tweet:

All illegal tuckshop owners in Mbare are advised to urgently remove their structures before dawn tomorrow. Vendors are urged to relocate to designated trading sites. Illegal activities are blocking roads, walkways and entrances into rate paying businesses.
