That parking meter money actually went to feeding people in Bulawayo. The city's parking system operator, Tendy Tree Investments, distributed food hampers to thousands of vulnerable residents last week through a council partnership, with managing director Lizwe Mabuza stating the five-year-old initiative is funded directly by motorists' parking fees.
The handover at the Mpopoma Housing Office followed a vetting process conducted by the Bulawayo City Council's housing department, which identified beneficiaries across all city wards. Deputy Mayor Edwin Ndlovu, representing the mayor, praised the company for both restoring order to the streets and for its community investment, noting TTI is unique for employing an entirely local workforce. The council coordinated the donation drive alongside its existing mayor's cheer fund.
