Zimbabwean car manufacturer strives to create vehicles made in Africa

[@thegreatkizo]

Massive step in the right direction, can’t wait to own this car.

[@gloriamanili]

Own the car by donating R2300. Invest

[@thegreatkizo]

@@gloriamanili Would this be a donation or an investment? I think they need to start a Kick Starter project to get support, they'd also need investors to bring in actual funding and explain why they think this is worth other people investing money in. Personally, this is a project I would back and honestly support - if they publish an official link, then yes ma'am.

[@gloriamanili]

@@thegreatkizo we shouldn't look at this like a Ferrari. It's the first AFRICAN made vehicle. It will need alot of work, that vehicle will realistically be successful in 2055. A small change/chance now could be the ultimate butterfly effect for Africa in the future.....

For me, I am just wondering if they are assembling or they’re using an OEM to make original made parts designed by the Zimbabwean car company

[@CuthbertMombe-sc3il]

Yeah we need africans to wake up and know that every thing is possible if we say we i can or we can do it we are wasting bollions importing banned cars in europe which have already outlived its life span

[@vanhuvanhuvese2738]

@@skystreem4860 the body is designed in Zimbabwe so are trhe parts however some of the parts there are standard non copyright designs and already on the market like the engines so you make minor changes and manufacturing locally also Zimbabwe produces steel locally and to some extend you can say its one of the top 5 most industrialized countries in Africa .South Africa manufactures completely from scratch but those are european and western brands ie toyota benz etc.I only disagree with him open branches all over africa before he gets 10% of the zimbabwe market he is wasting resources and time

[@skystreem4860]

@@vanhuvanhuvese2738 so South Africa predominantly assembles rather than manufacture cars, but if he wants to get this right, he doesn’t need the government support because here’s the thing even in America local vehicle industry is protected by policy whereby there is 100% tariff on foreign import cars this helps companies like Ford, GMC, Buick, Dodge and Tesla as a consequence, and an example of the government not helping is like in Nigeria there are two auto makers in Nigeria that are struggling to get by because of lack of support whereby instead of leading by example politicians are out there spending public funds buying luxury exotic cars, even if the local industry has the capacity to produce just as much quality, they don’t even do anything as far as policy is concerned, and also bank can be your best friend sometimes when you’re going to open a bank account or on college and university campuses some banks set up tent or a kiosk for people to join their company as customers and if you’re interested, you could put a deposit down on buying one of the cars that might be on display better deal. These are just some two key things that can factor into a brand success but if this brand wants to succeed, they are gonna have to shake some serious hands with some OEMs
