Tinotenda, the Daughter of Presidential Advisor, Paul Tungwarara, gave a speech in Mutare on 2 November 2025.
🇿🇼 Launching a New Vision: Tap-and-Go
Good afternoon, Manicaland! I hope you are all feeling energized and ready to welcome a new era of innovation!
(Pause for applause/acknowledgment.)
Let me first say: Va Munangagwa Woye! (Crowd responds: Hoye! Hoye!)
I am Tinotenda Tungwarara, and I am incredibly proud to be standing before you today. As a Zimbabwean who has been a resident in places like Dubai, I’ve seen firsthand how an economy can be transformed through bold vision and modern infrastructure.
🤝 Responding to the National Call
I want to extend my sincere gratitude to His Excellency, President Mnangagwa, for his unwavering commitment to growth, particularly his open-door policies and his direct call for the diaspora to come and invest back home. That call was not just a suggestion; it was an inspiration, a direct challenge to us to play our part in building the prosperous Zimbabwe we all envision.
And it is a challenge that I accepted.
After careful observation and planning, I decided to launch something that will redefine urban transport across our nation. I am thrilled to introduce you to a transport revolution: Tap-and-Go!
💡 The Tap-and-Go Revolution
Tap-and-Go is more than just a taxi service—it is a modern, reliable, and world-class experience, inspired by the very best I saw in places like Dubai.
What does that mean for you?
- Our vehicles are modern, meticulously maintained, and driven by professional, courteous drivers.
- Forget the inconvenience of a dead phone or weak signal. Every Tap-and-Go ride comes equipped with Wi-Fi and charging facilities, turning your commute into productive or relaxing time.
- Above all, our service is reliable. We are setting a new standard for quality and dependability in urban transport.
🗺️ Our Commitment to Zimbabwe
We are currently kicking off operations in Harare, but our vision is one that embraces every corner of this beautiful country. I am thrilled to announce that we have aggressive plans to expand to all provinces in Zimbabwe!
And, Manicaland, you are next on our list! We are committed to bringing the Tap-and-Go revolution right here to your beautiful province very soon!
(Pause for applause.)
🎉 The Launch Celebration
To celebrate this monumental step and to give everyone a chance to experience this new standard of transport, we are running a special launch promotion: The first week that we launch in each city, we will be giving away free rides for seven days! That’s a full week of reliable, modern, high-tech transport on us!
👋 Meet the Team
But a grand vision needs a great team. I couldn’t have launched this without dedicated and brilliant minds. So, I would now like to invite one of our directors, the very capable Nokutenda Chawira, to join me at the podium to tell you more about the mechanics of how Tap-and-Go will operate and serve your community.
(Speaker turns and gestures to the side.)
Please welcome Nokutenda!
(The speaker and Nokutenda Chawira both stand at the podium.)
Thank you!
