Harare City Council (HCC) town clerk Hosea Chisango has said that the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) will remain on the streets of the capital until the relocation of vendors is complete. Vendors have been resisting the council’s efforts to relocate them away from the central business district to designated vending sites. The vendors have been banned from selling food items since the outbreak of the cholera outbreak which has killed at least 45 people so far.
Said Chisango,
We have commitment from the Zimbabwe Republic Police that they are going to assist our municipal police until the situation reaches a sustainable level. The relocation may take some time but we anticipate that the situation will settle down.
