The City of Bulawayo has announced a significant financial injection of US$558 336 and ZiG5,2 million from its parking management system.
The municipality has a partnership with Tendy Three Investments (TTI) to manage 7 200 parking bays in the central business district (CBD).
The financial results were disclosed by the finance and development committee's acting chairperson, councillor Octavious Nkomo, during a special council meeting.
“The city received income amounting to US$558 336, R140 398, Pula 8 107 and ZiG 5 267 286 from January to August 31, 2025,” Nkomo said.
“These funds have been applied to the improvement of parking, with 6 978 parking bays having been marked to date.”
He indicated that the council's use of the parking fees is guided by the Urban Councils Act.
A key achievement has been the rehabilitation of major roads, including George Silundika Street, using the project's revenue.
Under the system, motorists pay US$1 per hour or US$4 for eight hours of parking.
