“Manica Bikes’ team has been in Mozambique from the 21st of February to the 7th of April 2022.

“These are all areas where mass beheadings, even of children have been done by the jihadists. Many civilians have been displaced by the fighting and the remaining residents are wallowing in abject poverty.

“The dire crisis is worsened by the disruption of road networks due to the current conflict and presenting a bicycle to a family, brings that glimmer of hope, as possessing one means access to resources to see the day,” she said.

Manica Bikes is a wholly owned Zimbabwean company, initially incorporated a couple of decades ago and over the years evolved through ownership by different families.

The company is well known for supplying bicycles around Zimbabwe and it is behind the success of a locally based start-up, Mutsapuri based in Waterfalls, Harare.
