GWERU City Parking has extended parking fee exemption to senior citizens and veterans of the liberation struggle as part of the company’s broader corporate social responsibility programme.
In a notice, the parking management company said senior drivers and war veterans should register their vehicles in their names to avoid abuse of the facility.
“All seniors and war veterans are kindly advised to come and register for exemption starting January 6, 2026 at our CBD offices,” Gweru City Parking said.
“Please bring copies of the following documents; registration book, national ID, driver’s licence and proof of residency.”
Gweru City Parking general manager Alphanette Gemu said the gesture was a way of appreciating the contribution made by senior citizens in communities as well as the role played by war veterans in liberating the country from colonial rule.
“As Gweru City Parking, exempting senior citizens and war veterans is our own small token of appreciation of the contribution they made to society and this cannot be taken for granted,” he said.

Gemu has been instrumental in initiating corporate responsibility projects like donating wheelchairs to people with disabilities through the Mayor’s Cheer Fund.
Newly-appointed town clerk Livingston Churu last year said the city had great respect for senior citizens and was working with Gweru City Parking to attend to their needs.
