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 to investigate City Parking’s operations.

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).
