The City of Harare says it has unearthed massive structural and environmental irregularities which are in breach of City by-laws at 49 on Cork in Avondale Harare.

The city says the design and architecture did not have council approval for mini mall with over 20 shops crammed into the site that used to house a single restaurant.

Contacted for comment, a space sales lady acting on behalf of the owners of 49 on Cork declined to comment on the allegations levelled against the building and its owners.

The city authorities says Avondale has been turned into a den of tuckshops and irregular structures which are substandard and not fit for the zone.

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission and the City of Harare are working hand in hand to bring the culprits to book and restore order in Avondale.
