A man reportedly collapsed after his car was clamped by TTI Parking in Bulawayo. This incident highlights the ongoing frustrations with the parking enforcement practices in the city.
TTI Parking’s Operations
TTI Parking has gained a reputation for imposing steep clamping fees on vehicles. Their operational hours have been extended to 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., which has raised concerns among motorists about the accessibility and fairness of their practices.
Financial Impact
Earlier this month, it was reported that the partnership between the Bulawayo City Council (BCC) and Tendy Three Investments (TTI) has generated over US$600,000 from parking fees and vehicle clamping within an eight-month period. The BCC has indicated that these funds are being used to improve parking facilities, with over 5,200 parking spaces already designated.
Community Reaction
The incident and the broader issues surrounding TTI Parking’s practices have sparked discussions among residents about the fairness and transparency of the parking enforcement system in Bulawayo. Many are concerned about the financial burden placed on drivers and the potential for such incidents to escalate further.
Motorists believe the TTI and BCC partnership is not about enforcing parking By-laws, but a money spinning endeavor.
