The Harare City Council says it will continue the demolition of illegal structures in all suburbs as efforts to bring sanity in the housing sector intensifies.
"The demolition of unregistered housing cooperatives and the operation of tuck shops which were phased out in 2005 is set to continue," according the City of Harare Principal Customer Relations Officer, Ms Dorothy Mavolwane.
Meanwhile, some Glenview 4 Dare Rechimurenga Housing Cooperative members say they are spending sleepless nights in fear their houses could be destroyed.
They claim to have been in constant communication with the city authorities, whom they say had indicated regularising their stands, but have now turned against them.
ZBC News reported that some of the residents are already moving out while others are still resisting.
