A Harare motorist, Gladman Bandama, has given Harare City Council’s subsidiary City Parking a 48-hour ultimatum to return the US$132 he was made to pay after his vehicle was clamped in the central business district on 8 March, reported <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200008828/motorist-demands-us132-fine-refund">NewsDay</a>.
City Parking marshals clamped Bandama’s vehicle over parking fee arrears and then fined him US$132 to have the vehicle released.
He is being represented by Tinashe Chinopfukutwa from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR).
Bandama’s Toyota Corolla was clamped at the Central Vehicle Registry offices along Robson Manyika Avenue.
Allegations are that Bandama had paid parking fees for an hour, but was delayed by 15 minutes only to find his vehicle clamped.
He reportedly offered to pay the parking fees for another hour, but the marshals refused and billed him US$132 in fines.
The vehicle was not towed away after he paid the fine. Wrote Chinopfukutwa:
<blockquote>
In terms of section 4(4) of the Harare (Clamping and Tow Away) By-laws 2005, clamp charges are only chargeable when a motor vehicle has been moved to a secure compound.
There is no legal provision for payment of clamp charges when the vehicle has not been moved to a secure compound.
</blockquote>
The lawyer further argued that parking marshals had no legal authority to enforce traffic by-laws on behalf of the City of Harare. He wrote:
<blockquote>
In terms of section 4(6) of the Municipal Traffic Laws Enforcement Act, an authorised person is a peace officer or a person employed under any law as a parking supervisor.
In the instant case, your parking marshals are neither peace officers or employed in terms of any law.
</blockquote>
On Monday Harare mayor Jacob Mafume said motorists who delay paying parking fees by two hours will be allowed to pay.

Harare Motorist Demands US$132 Fine Refund From City Parking

Harare City Council has bowed down to pressure from motorists following an uproar over the US$132 fine the local authority was charging for failing to pay parking fees on time.
Last week, the council’s subsidiary, City Parking, deployed its marshals who were clamping all vehicles whose owners were delaying paying US$1 parking fees.
Motorists who delayed paying the US$1 parking fees were fined US$132 for their vehicles to be unclamped.
Addressing council officials on Monday, 13 March, Harare mayor Jacob Mafume said motorists who delay paying parking fees by two hours will be allowed to pay. <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200008776/hcc-relents-on-parking-fines">NewsDay</a> quoted Mafume as saying:
<blockquote>
We have developed a protocol that a motorist first pays US$1. However, because of delays of two hours, the motorist will be allowed to pay for the arrears ticket.
Those motorists with large sums of arrears are the ones to be clamped for failure to pay the stipulated (fee).
We delayed the implementation of towing-away and storage charges. The ticket was US$229 for towing and storage on the same day.
If a vehicle is clamped, a person is given time to pay for the offence before clamping and towing charges can begin to operate.
Our fines are US$50, and clamping charges US$65, which sum up to US$132 after value-added tax.
We will delay the implementation of the clamping charges so that if you pay your fine within the stipulated period, then the charge for the clamping will not accrue, hence reducing the fine significantly.
We need to increase our payment system so that people can pay on the EcoCash platform and other service providers and also our WhatsApp chatbot.
</blockquote>
Mafume reminded Harare motorists that stepping on white lines, double parking and wrong parking, are traffic offences.

Harare City Council Adjusts Parking Fines

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Citizens%27_Coalition_for_Change">Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)</a> leader <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa">Nelson Chamisa</a> on Friday ordered Harare councillors to immediately review the parking penalty charges following a public outcry.
Chamisa’s directive came after the local authority refused to back down on its US$132 penalty charge for failing to display a valid parking ticket worth US$1 per hour.
In a revision of the policy earlier Friday, the local authority said a motorist who has not bought a parking ticket would be given a 30-minute grace period before clamping, while those whose tickets have expired would be given an hour’s grace period.
Motorists have complained the US$132 release fee for clamped vehicles is wildly disproportionate to the offence.
The CCC is the majority party in Harare and Chamisa summoned all the party’s councillors including mayor Jacob Mafume for a meeting on Friday.
The meeting was closed to reporters, but councillors who attended said the CCC leader was “angry” and fell short of telling the councillors they may not represent the party in future if the policy stands. ZimLive quotes an anonymous councillor as saying:
<blockquote>
He was quite animated and angry. He said the penalty fees were akin to overtaxing and overburdening the poor, and told us to choose whether we want to be with citizens or against citizens.
</blockquote>
Another councillor is cited as saying Chamisa told the councillors to review the parking penalty charges adding that the existence of bylaws supporting the charges was no excuse. The councillor said:
<blockquote>
He said the bylaws may have been there for years but insisted that this did not justify their existence. He said we took over the council to change things and not to maintain the old order.
</blockquote>
ZimLive was told that Chamisa told the councillors that they had to “<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/city-parking-adjusts-parking-rules-effective-10-march-2023/">immediately fix the problem.</a>”
CCC deputy spokesperson Gift Ostallos Siziba confirmed Chamisa’s meeting with the councillors. Siziba said:
<blockquote>
The president expects the councillors to meet as a matter of urgency and pass a resolution to correct the issues that have been highlighted by residents. The CCC must always be pro-poor, pro-citizens and place citizens before profit. That was the president’s message to the councillors.
</blockquote>
Local government minister July Moyo has appointed a committee to look into the parking system in Harare which is operated by a company called City Parking in partnership with the city.

Chamisa Orders Harare Councillors To Immediately Review Parking Penalty Charges

The Secretary of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tafadzwa_Muguti">Mr Tafadzwa Muguti</a> has said City Parking fines are grossly unreasonable.
In a statement seen by Pindula News, Muguti urged <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Harare_City_Council">Harare City Council (HCC)</a> to engage members of the public prior to such resolutions being passed by councillors. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
<h2>PRESS STATEMENT PUBLIC OUTCRY OF CITY PARKING FINES AND MISCONDUCT 10 MARCH 2023</h2>
The Secretary of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province, Mr. Tafadzwa Muguti met with the City of Harare Management, the City Parking Management and the Zimbabwe Republic Police on Thursday the 9th of March 2022. The meeting called by the Secretary followed the public outcry on the exorbitant parking fines and unruly behaviour by City Parking officials that has led to violent clashes with motorists. As Harare Metropolitan Province we have directed both City of Harare and City Parking to immediately seize the unprofessional manner in which the City Parking officials were now operating.
Whilst we encourage all local authorities to collect revenues from enforcement of by-laws, there has to be a human face to this practice. This includes taking into consideration the current state of the economy and that globally all economies are trying to recover post-Covid-19, Zimbabwe included. The recent fines charged by the City of Harare include;
– US$132 for late parking 
– US$100 for towing of your vehicles 
– US$20 for administration fee
As Government we find these fines to be grossly unreasonable and are not people centred. There has to be engagement between the City Council and residents especially motorists prior to such resolutions being passed by councillors. Local governance requires that council resolutions passed by councillors reflect the ambitions, desires and expectations of the residents. So the parking fees reviewed upwards should have been as a results of public consultations between councillors and the residents in the respective jurisdictions. 
The failure by the City of Harare to urgently address the public outcry by residents has led the Secretary of State to request that the Minister of Local Government and Public Works. Hon. J.G. Moyo under the Urban Councils Act urgently Intervenes in this matter. An investigation team has been established by the Hon. Minister and shall look into the City Parking affairs mainly covering:
– The Shareholding of City parking 
– The Financial Management of City Parking revenues 
– The Allegations of Corruption and misconduct by City Parking Officials 
– The Parking Fees Resolution Justification by Councillors 
– The Use of money collected from City Parking by the City of Harare.
We encourage all motorists to pay for the parking in order to avoid enforcement but not to pay bribes to City Parking officials. All acts of misconduct and corruption should be reported to the nearest ZRP Police Station. lastly, the City of Harare should ensure that parking bays are clearly marked, clean and all storm drains cleared. We expect only the best service delivery standards from the City of Harare to its residents. Please stand guided accordingly.
Office of the Secretary of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Harare Metropolitan Province Office of the President and Cabinet

This comes after a public uproar after motorists were fined US$130 cash. The uproar prompted the Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, July Moyo, to appoint a team <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/harare-city-parking-under-probe-over-exorbitant-clamping-fees/">to investigate City Parking’s operations.</a>
The issues that are being investigated include the parking fees; the average daily collection levels; the shareholding structure between Council and City Parking; the role of the Municipal Traffic Police in Parking; the relationship, if any, between the ZRP Harare Traffic and City Parking.
Harare City Council gave City Parking marshals authority to clamp and fine traffic offenders in the Central Business District (CBD).

City Parking Adjusts Parking Rules Effective 10 March 2023

ZANU PF has condemned the CCC-dominated Harare City Council over the manner in which City Parking has been enforcing traffic by-laws in Harare’s central business district which has resulted in chaos and inconveniences to motorists.
Some motorists have threatened to sue the local authority after clashing with City Parking marshals.
ZANU PF secretary for Local Government and Devolution Supa Mandiwanzira urged Harare City Council to ensure that its marshals treat people with dignity. <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/zanu-pf-seethes-over-harare-chaotic-parking-system/">Business Times</a> quoted Mandiwanzira as saying:
<blockquote>
We are very concerned with the way motorists in Harare and elsewhere are being treated by city fathers, particularly the parking marshals.
The people are being abused and there have been skirmishes between citizens and marshals. This is not the way to treat people.
I call the Mayor and his CCC officials to make sure people are not harassed. My message to the city fathers is ityai Mwari, musada mari.
</blockquote>
Local Government, Public Works and National Housing Minister July Moyo has since appointed a team to investigate City Parking’s operations.

ZANU PF Condemns City Of Harare Over Parking Chaos

Harare businessman Nigel Chanakira has shared some tips on how motorists can avoid wheel clamping by City Parking marshals.
The Harare City Council recently gave City Parking marshals authority to clamp and fine traffic offenders in the Central Business District (CBD).
<a href="https://twitter.com/nigelchanakira/status/1633487521635082242?s=20">Posting on Twitter</a> on Wednesday, Chanakira said his vehicle was clamped by the marshals while he was in a meeting.
He said he was asked to pay US$130 by City Parking, an amount he said “is totally disproportionate to the offence”.
Chanakira also took to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/572532170/posts/pfbid0KWKbFDXLwnhEKwSyXcXP6CXxUsiZ3uA4GHbnthWm443er8Mi3FAZZ8GTJA3VoZWXl/?mibextid=Nif5oz">Facebook</a> on Thursday where he shared 12 tips on how motorists can avoid falling foul of Harare City Council’s “unjust” by-laws. He wrote:
<blockquote>
We sending this message as an awareness when driving into Harare CBD on happenings that are of serious concern. We don’t want anyone to fall victim to the injurious by-laws in Harare CBD…
Please if you enter Harare city, be more cautious about correctly parking your car than about thieves and touts. Ndezvakudhara zviya.
1. Park your car in the correctly provided lot marked in white. If you can’t see the white, find the white and park there!
2. Make sure your four wheels don’t straddle the white markings. See the white. Don’t do the yellow ⚠
3. Immediately pay for your parking time. Look for the parking marshal within 2 minutes of parking and pay💰
4. Never leave your car before you pay unless you have approached a marshal and you have a person in the car to explain to clamping officers that someone is looking for the marshal.
5. If you’re alone and you can’t see the parking marshal do not leave your car unattended with no parking ticket. Stay there patiently until the marshal comes or is in view.
6. Alternatively you can pay using Ecocash after registering your car reg. no at *192#. Only then can you leave your car without a parking ticket, but with evidence in your phone of time payment done and hours paid for. This is the only explanation that can be entertained once your car is clamped.
7. Please pay for the exact time/ hours not estimate. If your time expires whilst you’re still caught up somewhere, you’ll pay heavily for the 4 minutes expired time. There is no explanation that can be entertained. You’ll lose USD132.00 to Council, penalty for 4 minutes for not paying RTGS900 for 1 hour. That’s the law as it stands. Mari irikutobuda zviripamutemo.
8. If you don’t pay USD132.00 after clamping, in 2 hours your car will be towed for USD50.00 to Council depot where it will attract USD50 storage fee per day until you take it out for another heftier penalty.
9. Never drop or pick up a passenger anywhere in an undesignated area. Parka mota yako woburutsa sekuru kana mbuya kana passenger yawakwidza. Sekuru vanosungwa vakabhadhariswa USD30 zvisina defence, zvakabhekwa nemurawu.
10. DON’T break the parking by-laws banking on a friend or contact at the Council to bail you out.
11. Unsuspecting Motorists and passengers are being sued and fleeced of their hard-earned cash through unscrupulous by-laws and please be warned and warn your other innocent public.
12. Beware of scammers and imposters pausing as Council police adding to the violence.

Harare City Mandates City Parking To Enforce Parking, Traffic By-laws

Bulawayo City Council and its partner Tendy Three Investments Private Limited (TTI) have reviewed the smart parking pricing model following consultations with stakeholders.
In a statement on Wednesday, Town Clerk Christopher Dube said motorists are now allowed to transfer parking minutes to other bays within an hour.
Previously, motorists’ parking tickets expired once they moved from their parking bay even if they parked for a few minutes. Said Dube:
<blockquote>
The City of Bulawayo and Tendy Three Investments Private Limited (TTI) have reviewed the smart parking pricing model with immediate effect.
Motorists will now be able to transfer their paid parking time to different parking bays during the time that they would have paid for with effect from the 10th of August 2022.
For example, a motorist can purchase a US$1 per hour, or its equivalent pegged at the ongoing bank rate of the RBZ auction Rate, parking at Bay A and can move to Bay B or Bay C etc within their hour without being charged parking fees during the one (1) hour that they would have purchased.
The system will deduct minutes as the motorists park in different bays in the one hour.
The pricing adjustment follows extensive consultations with stakeholders and recognises the prevailing harsh economic environment.
The City remains committed to ensuring that motorists have access to parking bays through the deployment of state-of-the-art global technological systems.
Payment methods are also being strengthened so that all the parking fees are remitted to designated company accounts.
The project bankers are seized with perfecting a transparent and accountable banking system supported by a robust Information Technology solution.

Bulawayo Council Reviews Parking Pricing Model

Parking fees have been increased in Harare for the fourth time in six months this year and the latest review will see motorists paying ZWL$400 per hour for parking in the Central Business District, up from the current ZWL$300.
The adjustments are with effect from the 1st of July, 2022.
The increase comes exactly a month after the previous one after the local authority raised parking fees from ZWL$190 per hour in May to ZWL300 this month.
This year, City Parking, a private company wholly owned by the City of Harare, first increased parking fees as follows:
<blockquote>
i). From ZWL$100 to ZWL$120 in January, 
ii). ZWL$120 to ZWL150 in March, 
iii). ZWL150 to ZWL190 in May and 
iv). ZWL190 to ZWL$300 this month.
</blockquote>
The new charges take the fees to more than US$1, according to the official exchange rate, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/rbz-forex-auction-zimbabwe-dollar-official-rate-21-june-2022/">which stands at zw$347,31 as it this Tuesday.</a>
On the black market, the US$1 is valued between ZW$400 and ZW$600.

Parking Fees Increased In Harare

ZANU PF has expressed disapproval over the awarding of a tender by Bulawayo City Council (BCC) to a South African company to manage vehicle parking in Zimbabwean’s second-largest city.
BCC recently awarded Tendy Three Investment (TTI) a US$2 million tender for vehicle parking management.
Under the deal, which is a build operate and transfer (BOT), BCC will receive 30% of the proceeds, while TTI retains 70%.
ZANU PF Bulawayo provincial spokesperson Archibold Chiponda wrote a letter to town clerk Christopher Dube on 28 March expressing disquiet over the deal. Said Chiponda:
<blockquote>
We feel that the partnership is detrimental to the development of Bulawayo both economically and socially.
In addition, we question whether the technology or value addition being offered by the foreign company is so unique that BCC could not identify a capable local company or better still carry out the project itself.
In total, over a period of six years, TTI stands to make a potential net profit of US$4 420 080, in comparison to US$941 760 for BCC.
As ZANU PF, we find this grossly unacceptable. An individual employed within the CBD will part with at least US$100 per month in parking fees, severely eroding their income.
Some businesses have already noticed the trend of falling revenues since the introduction of the parking system. 
Furthermore, the added cost of parking adds a US$0.50c premium to any goods or services purchased from companies operating within the CBD as consumers will be forced to pay to park in order to consume those goods and services.
</blockquote>
ZAPU recently petitioned BCC to reduce the US$1 per hour parking charge saying it is beyond the reach of most motorists.

City of Harare said the new fees were to be suspended until proper consultations are carried out.

City Parking Hikes Parking Fees To ZWL$50 Per Hour

Harare City Council will deploy skeletal staff from its company, City Parking, to resume collecting parking fees and clamping vehicles at all designated bays following an increase in vehicular traffic despite the current lockdown.
In a statement on Wednesday, City Parking public relations manager Francis Mandaza confirmed the resumption of operations. The statement read:
<blockquote>Starting April 22, 2020, City Parking will deploy skeletal staff in the CBD. Our parkades accommodate essential service providers who require uninterrupted access.
The number of vehicles coming into the CBD has increased hence the need to complement efforts by City of Harare Traffic Enforcement and other law enforcement agencies to ensure adherence to the announced lockdown.
The entity is marking bays and road carriageway lines in the Central Business District to enable a smooth and trafficable road network post-COVID-19 period.
However, our work is being hindered by the large volume of traffic in the CBD despite the proclaimed lockdown.
We have therefore seen it fit to charge the normal parking fees for all vehicles parking in designated bays in the CBD.
The parking fees will as usual go towards the maintenance of the road network, marking of carriageway lines and parking bays…</blockquote>

City Parking To Resume Collecting Parking Fees In Harare CBD

The government has directed <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Harare_City_Council" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Harare City Council</a> to disband all strategic business units it had formed, including City Parking and Harare Quarry, among others, with suspicions abounding that the companies are being used to steal council resources.
A letter dated December 16, 2019, and addressed to Harare Mayor <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Herbert_Gomba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Herbert Gomba</a> by Local Government minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/July_Moyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">July Moyo</a> reads in part:
<blockquote>You are directed to make sure that companies formed as income-generating ventures, which previously had been sourced for council revenue, are dissolved and the activities are carried out under the appropriate programmes.
On that note, City Parking, without any investments, had not been bringing in any meaningful revenue to council and Sunshine Holdings seems to be a conduit to siphon out council resources. Furthermore, Harare Quarry (Pvt) Ltd demands payment upfront for material ordered by the council, while it is being subsidised for making losses.</blockquote>
The formation of several companies has facilitated a loss of organisational cohesion and created a bloated support staff complement which weighs heavily on council resources, Minister Moyo said.
Minister Moyo advised the City to revise its organogram as a matter of urgency.

Harare City Council Directed To Close Its Companies

City Parking’s Public Relations Manager Francis Mandaza urged the Urban Councils to commercialise and privatise parking spaces to increase revenue to be collected. Mandaza was speaking at the 78th edition of the UCAZ that was being held in Bulawayo last week.
According to the Daily News:
<blockquote>Mandaza said most councils were losing thousands of dollars through the manual park- ing systems, which he described as porous.
City Parking was recently slammed by residents and pressure groups after it emerged that the company allegedly pampered some Bulawayo councillors to a five-star treatment in an effort to influence a tender process.</blockquote>
City Parking is wholly owned by Harare City Council and it collects parking revenue on behalf of the council.

Commercialize And Privatize Parking Space To Increase Revenue Collection - Urban Councils Told

Harare City Council’s parking division, City Parking, is reportedly no longer issuing parking tickets for $1. Many motorists have suspect fraud since parking marshalls with the business unit have only been issuing the $2 invoices.
The parking business in April this year increased their tariffs to $2 per hour from $1, citing the deterioration of the country’s economy. One motorist said:
<blockquote>When you want to only pay for 30 minutes, the attendants tell you that it is no longer available despite all their signs stating otherwise. City Parking should address this situation fast.</blockquote>
City Parking raised its tariffs claiming that all their suppliers of items such as till rolls, uniforms, fuel, clamps, insurance, and parking equipment had increased the costs of their stocks due to inflation.
They argue that raising tariffs was meant to recoup costs incurred so as to keep the business running.

Harare Parking Fees Increased

According to Harare City Council’s parking unit, City Parking’s half-year review report to July 2018, the taxis and kombis are occupying 784 parking bays, depriving the firm of $94 080 monthly.
Some Government institutions allegedly commandeered some parking bays for free over and above their authorised and allocated bays, which was also costing the city $84 960. The report also said City Park is losing $488 560 monthly due to vendors. Part of the report reads:
<blockquote>There is an increase in the number of people vending on the streets and some are operating from some parking bays. This has deprived the company of potential revenue from the occupied bays. An average of 738 bays has been taken by the vendors with an average loss amounting to $488 560 monthly. Touts/vagrants that compete with revenue collection marshals on the streets are increasing by day and mostly affecting smooth flow of operations. About 412 parking bays have been lost to this group with average revenue loss of $49 440 monthly.</blockquote>
