If you live in an African city you will be familiar with car parkers or guards – men who suddenly appear when you park your car. They will watch it for you and guide you out when you leave… for a small fee.

The BBC’s Africa Business Report took to the streets of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, to meet some of them.
