The Harare council says the central business district can only accommodate 6,000 vendors and the rest of the more than 20,000 currently operating in the area will be moved to vendors sites in residential and industrial areas.
Speaking during the sidelines of the launch of the city’s sustainable clean- up campaign by local government minister, Ignatius Chombo, Harare town clerk, Tendai Mahachi, said the 10 designated sites in the city centre cannot accommodate all the vendors in the city.
He said security teams will be deployed and from Thursday as they would be moving vendors from pavements and city moves to restore its sunshine status.
Minister chombo  urged vendors and all those involved in illegal activities in the city to register with the Harare city council so that they can be allocated designated places to operate from.

All has been said but what are these people going to survive on. its not that the system of registration is an "effective" one. Actions should be accompanied by substitutes food for thought.
