'I'm the boss of this street'

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.

Also guarding their patches closely, they are a noticeable part of the informal economy on the continent and sometimes earn well above the average wage.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Africa Business Report took to the streets of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, to meet some of them.
