So far parking marshalls have been seen operating only in Stanger.

KwaDukuza municipality media liaison officer Sipho Mkhize said this was because the service provider, Vusa Isipho Trading Enterprise, is still in the process of training parking marshals

“There are locations that do not have these marshals. However, I can confirm that no location will be without a marshal in the course of next week.”

So far, motorists in Stanger have taken to social media raging about technical glitches with the parking tariff devices.

Ilse van Zyl said the times on her parking receipt were incorrect. The receipt showed a time of 2.51pm when it was 8.55am

However, Mkhize said that Vusa Isipho Trading Enterprise was in the process of reprogramming their software.

“I confirm that no one has been overcharged due to this. The municipality commits itself to raising all concerns and complaints raised by the community with the service provider in its endeavor to find amicable solutions to what the public has brought to its attention.”
