In a statement, the City urged business people and
residents to immediately remove illegally installed billboards.
“The exercise will see all those with illegally
installed billboards being fined,”
Council said.
“All unpaid for billboards are deemed illegal and will be
taken down.
“Wall murals installed without Council approval will also
be destroyed.”
Some Harare residents commended the Council’s scheduled
removal of unmaintained billboards and urged the municipality not to stop there
but to clean up the entire city.
“The removal of old unmaintained billboards is a good idea
and with a bit of initiative from every citizen we can begin to clean up our
city,” said one resident Nanette Allmark.
“Imagine if every home and business cleaned up the verges
in front?
“Residents need to find some pride in their nation and
capital to stop littering and destroying.”
Another resident, Matthew Kunyeda, said:
“The removal of the unmaintained billboards was long
overdue. The local authority should also remove all unnecessary street
advertising from all the roads.
“Council should be making money through advertising.” H
