Clamping your wheel without having enough parking

Shops, Products, Services

So I drive into the underground parking noticing that the parking is quite full. I spot a parking, drive over there, time my parking perfectly to avoid the pillar and the other car, and walla! "Well done! " I think to myself for getting this parking spot. I get out of my car and what do I notice? A yellow stripe across my parking space...! Am I going to get back into my car and search for another parking? Of course no!

After two hours I pay my parking ticket, walk to my car and see that my wheels been CLAMPED... I spot the nearest security guard sitting on his 4wheeler and ask him why they clamped my wheel and how do I get it off. He tells me I have to pay a R100 to get it removed and I can give the money to him... (Like he's going to hand it over to the person responsible for the finances). So I tell him to call his manager. We walk to another security guard and he call his supervisor over the 2 way radio. After a long discussion with a very disrespectful supervisor I managed to get him to remove it without me paying a R100. Why did they not clearly mark the parking spaces like Menlyn? Especially when you don't even have a sufficient amount of parking spaces...
