By Own Correspondent| Harare City Council (HCC) spokesperson Michael Chideme has revealed that the demolition of illegal structures in Mbare and other areas will continue until order and sanity is restored in the city.

Chideme told the Mail and Telegraph that the ongoing clean-up campaign is aimed at ensuring that the city fathers are able to implement the proposed master grand plan in urban areas.

Said Chideme:

We want Mbare to breathe again, we want to free the walkways and busways.

We want to restore land uses in Mbare. We have a grand master plan, the renewal or regeneration of Mbare that is coming soon.

Small-scale business owners in the bustling residential areas of Mbare and Chitungwiza were given 30 minutes to demolish their structures.R

The demolitions took place under the watchful eye of truckloads of armed soldiers.
