We recently presented a prize giving for the Transport and Logistics (T&L) Drivers in Wedza, Zimbabwe.

The top three performing groups received a hamper to recognise their dedicated work:
1-   Lion
2-   Money Maker
3-   Kubudirira Ishungu

We have 26 drivers (100% women!) divided into 13 Hamba groups. They work closely with Mobility for Africa on a commission and detail each ride for our data collection.

Before the Hamba, the community relied on walking to and from their destinations or the pricey option of Mushikashika (usually a Honda Fit), often quite crammed and not a door-to-door service.

From our data collection it’s evident that the Wedza T&L tend to transport more passengers than cargo: children to school, pregnant women to the clinic, market-goers (sellers and buyers), horticulturalists. The Hamba carries people from ‘all walks of life’ – but now they don’t have to do as much walking!

A big congratulations to our top performing groups and an even bigger thank you for helping us bring mobility solutions to anyone and everyone in this rural community.
