The man lighting up rural Zimbabwe... and the futures of rural school children
An electrical engineering graduate is making sure pupils in rural communities of Zimbabwe have access to light to study during power outages.His invention, the Chigubhu Lantern, is crafted from discarded electronic waste and is charged with solar power.
Manyonga sees not just recycled plastic but the potential for brighter futures in rural Zimbabwe, where in many villages, darkness still drapes the evenings like a heavy cloak.
His creation isn't just a clever contraption; it's a promise of extended study hours, improved grades, and ultimately a chance to rewrite students' destinies.
Through his company Zambezi Ark Technology, which he established in 2018 and officially registered in September 2022, Manyonga is today empowering rural communities.Driven by a desire to also contribute to his hometown in Chihota, eastern Zimbabwe, Manyonga's company now also trains school children to create lights using discarded materials, and two schools in the town boast off-grid solar-powered Direct Current (DC) lighting systems, ensuring reliable and environmentally friendly illumination.
