Corruption at Harare City Parking
2 hrs ago | Views
Harare-City Parking, a crucial player in Harare's urban parking system, is facing mounting allegations of financial mismanagement and operational irregularities.
The company's leadership structure is under intense scrutiny, particularly the role of Tsitsi Samapundo, the City of Harare's Business Development Unit Manager, married to the company's CEO, Simon Muzviyo.
Critics argue that Samapundo's close relationship with Muzviyo has created a significant conflict of interest, as she appears unable or unwilling to hold her husband accountable for the growing allegations of corruption within the company.
Sources close to the matter have raised concerns that funds collected from parking fees have been mismanaged under Muzviyo's leadership, with large sums unaccounted for.
The lack of transparency has prompted calls for a full audit of the company's operations.
Yet, Tsitsi Samapundo, in her role overseeing City Parking's activities, has not addressed these issues publicly, fueling suspicions of a cover-up.
Moreover, City Parking's operational framework is said to lack a formal written contract, which raises further legal questions about the legitimacy of the company's dealings with the City of Harare.
This absence of documentation has led to fears of unregulated financial practices, exacerbated by the apparent lack of oversight from those in charge, including Samapundo.
The situation is compounded by the perceived conflict of interest, with Samapundo's position creating a potentially untenable scenario where her professional obligations clash with her relationship with the CEO.
While Samapundo's role ensures transparency and accountability, critics argue that her close ties to Muzviyo have impeded proper governance, allowing corrupt activities to go unchecked.
Harare residents and stakeholders are calling for immediate reforms and a thorough investigation into City Parking's operations as the controversy intensifies.
However, Samapundo and Muzviyo have remained silent, leaving many questioning whether their relationship is clouding their professional responsibilities.
