The traders were last week served with eviction orders from the city's development control (enforcement) section and the eviction is being done in terms of the Urban Council's (Use and Occupation of Land and Buildings) By-Laws (1979).
Reads a notice served to the traders: "Take notice that you are using council land illegally as you do not have either a lease with or the permission of the council.
"Further take notice that within 48 hours from service of this notice upon you, you must depart the land, remove all your property from the land and remove all the rubble from the land".
Council said it would demolish structures of those who refuse to comply with its notice.
Harare City Council spokesperson Mr Michael Chideme said the traders should move to designated areas.
Some of the affected traders said they were not going.
