About Zimuntu
Connecting our people to our businesses — globally.
Our Story
With the movement of Africans across the globe, came the problem of finding our trusted products and services wherever we choose to do things. Zimuntu was born to create a clean and easy bridge between Afrocentric sellers and buyers, while living up to the values of Ubuntu by building trust in our own, amplifying those who excel, and giving even the small trader a chance to be seen.
Our Vision
To build a trusted digital gateway where the world discovers and supports African excellence while connecting entrepreneurs and communities across borders to thrive together.

Meet Our Team
Emmanuel Kamhara
Managing Director
"As a Zimbabwean entrepreneur living abroad, I realised the real potential of our global community was being lost in the noise. Amazing businesses were being drowned out."
Takudzwa Nyagweta
Responsible AI Lead
"Too many brilliant service providers are invisible because they don’t have the tech skills or resources to stand out online. Zimuntu is our way of fixing that from the ground up."
Trevor Gumunyu
Senior Developer
"I’ve seen too many platforms designed without the user in mind. Zimuntu is about building an interface that makes people feel like they belong."
