Bulawayo residents and officials are up in arms over the contentious parking management contract between the City of Bulawayo and Tendy Tree Investments (TTI). The deal, criticized for its unfavorable terms, has sparked widespread outrage and demands for its cancellation. Residents argue that the contract disproportionately benefits TTI, with excessive fees and inadequate services.
Critics point to the contract’s lack of transparency and alleged irregularities in its awarding process. Many question how TTI was selected and why the city council agreed to such unfavorable terms. The controversy has led to accusations of corruption and mismanagement within the city council. Residents and business owners are concerned about the financial burden the contract will place on them.
The Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association and other civic organizations have joined forces to pressure the city council to revoke the contract. They argue that the deal undermines the city’s economic development and prioritizes TTI’s interests over residents’ needs.
