The Council posted a Tweet outlining why they will be adopting the technology:
Harare City to use drone technology to identify structures and activities at residential properties.

The City of Harare move comes after the government had also indicated that it will buy modern surveillance equipment, including high-tech drones and helicopters, to enhance police operations.
Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Cain Mathema said that Government was modernising crime detection, prevention and investigative capacities.
Police will roll out the Electronic Traffic Management System (ETMS) following extensive piloting at various stations around the country. ETMS is an IT system that guarantees seamless data capture and communications between various Government departments. E-ticketing, speed traps and breathalysers will be deployed on roads as part of the new system. Minister Mathema said authorities also plan to establish closed-circuit television surveillance.
The plans are part of the ministry's 100-day programme. Following last year's White City Stadium terror attack targeted at President Emmerson Mnangagwa, authorities activated anti-terrorism measures that included deploying special anti-terror personnel and drones at political gatherings countrywide.
Minister Mathema said Government would in a few months roll out e-passports to modernise and enhance the security of travel documents.
