Speaking at a ceremony to officially open parkade elevators at the corner of Julius Nyerere Way and Jason Moyo Avenue yesterday, Harare Mayor Bernard Manyenyeni urged City Park to reduce the penalty for one to have their vehicle unclamped.
He said residents were complaining that the $57 they have to pay to have their cars unclamped was unaffordable. Said Manyenyeni:
By remarking about that, I am challenging management to work around a review of that figure. It must be worked around together with understanding and perception that the central business district (CBD) is congested in terms of motor vehicles and it must be de-congested. One of the ways to de-congest it is to make it progressively unattractive to park in the city centre, pushing 500 metres away, one kilometre away so that you park at cheaper sites away from the city centre.
