The move is likely to end the perennial cat and mouse game between vendors and the municipal police.
Harare city council is struggling to provide vending malls to the increasing number of vendors and shortage of space.
According to the Harare city council there are 10 000 registered vendors in the capital and less than half of them have legal vending malls.
Currently there are 16 vending sites in the CBD which the city fathers designed for vendors.
“We have added two more sites on top of the already existing 16.The first one will carry 1000 vendors at the corner of Cripps and Seke road and the other one will carry a whooping 6000 vendors at the Civic centre, and we are confident that these two points will help reduce the number of vendors operating illegally in the central business district,”Michael Chideme Harare city Council spokesperson told TheZimbabwean , in an exclusive interview in Harare this week.
