Gweru to have new parking system
NEWS
We mean business...
Although most of our parking marshals and entire parking staff acknowledge Dennis Rusoso's comedy prowess, when 'VaMayaya' wrongly parked his car, we forgot about his rib-cracking jokes and stamped authority!
In the end he parted with $60...
SO DO NOT BE CAUGHT ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LAW!!!
The Gweru City Council is set to introduce a new parking management system which is expected to be more efficient.
The new parking management system would have display terminals and thermal printers and accessories.
Most local authorities have resorted to clamping of vehicles as part of revenue collection as ratepayers continue to default on their payments.
The City
Gweru (formerly Gwelo until 1982) is a city near the centre of Zimbabwe at 19°25′S 29°50′E. It has a population of about 146,073 (2009), making it the fifth largest city in the nation. Gweru is the capital of Midlands Province, and was founded in 1894 by Dr. Leander Starr Jameson. The first bank opened in Gweru in 1896, and the stock exchange in 1898. The railway arrived in 1902. It became a municipality in 1914 and achieved city status in 1971. The name changed from Gwelo to Gweru in 1982.
It is also home to Thornhill Air Base, an airforce garrison, the Zimbabwe Military Museum and the Antelope Game Park. The Nalatale and Danangombe archaeological enclosures lie nearby, the former known for its patterned brickwork, the latter for its Portuguese remains.
In 1928 Gweru resident and pioneer widow Mrs Jean Boggie erected a memorial clock tower in memory of her late husband. The Boggie Clock Tower has become a landmark in Gweru.
