Harare City Council has launched an operation to remove street children from the CBD, a move widely welcomed by women who say they have suffered theft and harassment. Municipal police rounded up children aged between five and 20, citing rising crime and intimidation. While residents support the action, many warn that sporadic blitzes will not solve the entrenched problem and are calling for sustained interventions.
