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. Business Times quoted Mandiwanzira as saying:
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.
Local Government, Public Works and National Housing Minister July Moyo has since appointed a team to investigate City Parking’s operations.

Well said Mr Mandiwanzira and I hope you said the same to your party youths who brutalised elderly people in Murehwa recently. We need people like you who care about ill-treatment of people in general. Continue with the good work!!!

The CCC people have let us down big time. They just shown how greedy they are. We have trusted them council and have let us down. What about if give them the whole country. They can be worse than the current. They have failed to protect the motorists. They want to milk them big time. Ko vazonzi ndivo vakuita mutemo wenyika Vega. Unototengesa motor kuti mubhadhare fine yekusasunga seat belt, kupinda red
That’s true Mr Mandiwanzira, those parking marshalls are out of line and have no respect at all for the motoring public who happen to be their paymasters. This whole thing is a fund raising exercise for City of Harare. We now see the same approach at Rufaro Marketing where Board Members are on a money collecting spree causing a lot of chaos in the process. Please investigate activities in this City of Harare Company as well.
