Harare Municipal Police and development control officials have intensified the Chenesa Harare Clean-up Operation.
The ongoing operation is targeting illegal vending at shopping centres and roadside sites across the capital.
Today, officials moved into several busy areas as they continued efforts to restore order.
Pennywise Shopping Centre in Eastlea was among the areas targeted during the operation.
Officials also visited Divaris Shops in Belvedere and Mabelreign Shopping Centre.
The exercise focuses on vendors operating outside designated vending areas.
Vendors urged to use approved sites
Authorities have urged vendors to vacate undesignated areas and comply with city regulations.
Instead, vendors have been encouraged to apply for space at approved vending sites.
The approach aims to create a more organised trading environment across Harare.
It also seeks to address congestion around shopping centres and roadside trading points.
Meanwhile, the continued enforcement comes as the city pushes its wider clean-up campaign.
Officials are expected to continue visiting areas where illegal vending remains common.
The operation also serves as a reminder for traders to follow approved procedures.
Vendors who want to continue trading have therefore been encouraged to seek legal operating spaces.
As the Chenesa Harare campaign continues, authorities are likely to maintain enforcement across different parts of the city.
For residents and businesses, the operation could also change how public spaces are used.
However, vendors now have a clear option through the city’s approved vending sites.
The latest operation highlights the authorities’ continued focus on regulating informal trading in Harare.
