Zimbabwe: Victoria Falls reintroduces parking fees!

The Victoria Falls municipality has reintroduced parking fees. Motorists have to pay US$1 (or in local RTGS according to the prevailing interbank rate) per hour to be allowed to park their vehicles in the town's Central Business District (CBD). The local authority is planning to engage suppliers of automated devices, which will detect time the car has been parked and clamp it once the time lapses, for partnership in the project. The reintroduction of parking fees, which got suspended a few years ago due to operational challenges, is meant to decongest Victoria Falls' CBD and mobilise revenue for the municipality.
