He said:<\/p>\n<p>It is now open to the public at US$0.50 per hour and US$1 per hour for bigger trucks.<\/p>\n<p>The car park will be a relief to those who visit Mbare often because there is no parking around the market, and one would have to resort to other means as there would be vagrants harassing the motoring public.<\/p>\n<p>He said football fans attending matches at Rufaro Stadium will be asked to pay for using parking facilities at the stadium when the sports facility reopens. Said Mandaza:<br \/>\nAt one point, ZIFA (Zimbabwe Football Association) engaged City Parking with the intention to manage parking on match days.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, a lot would happen to fans\u2019 cars during match days; some ended up leaving their cars at home as a result.<\/p>\n<p>City Parking reportedly raked in over US$3 million from parking fees and penalties this year.<\/p>\n<p>In June this year, City Parking caused an uproar after it launched a blitz in the Central Business District targeting vehicles parked in bus lanes and designated loading zones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
