Zaka Rural District Council will soon enlist the services of the Zimbabwe National Army in a bid to remove illegal vendors from the streets of Jerera Growth Point.

The Zaka Rural District Council board last week resolved to enlist the services of members of the Zimbabwe National Army to beat up vendors.

Zaka Rural District Council Chief Executive Office David Majaura denied the board resolved to hire soldiers to beat up vendors.

“We concurred to find effective ways to remove illegal vendors but we never pinpointed a specific strategy,” said Majaura.

However council sources maintained the army would be roped in to restore order at the growth point.
