In an official statement yesterday, National Vendors’ Union of Zimbabwe (Navuz) and the Harare City council appealed to illegal vendors to leave the streets voluntarily. The joint appeal was aimed at buttressing efforts to curb the current cholera outbreak.
The Council urged all vendors to use their designated vending sites.
