Zimbabwe is earmarked to have more electric vehicles, particularly cars and motorcycles, on its roads from next year, as international green technology company, Agilitee plans to expand its operations.
In July 2022, Agilitee opened its operations in Zimbabwe, with an outlet at Joina City in Harare, trading in various green energy products, particularly electric motorcycles.
Apart from Zimbabwe, the company has operations in Nigeria, Kenya, and Eswatini.
It also has licenses in India and Ireland.
In a statement, the company’s founder and chief executive, Dr Mandla Lamba, said they have exciting plans for 2023.
“Our plan is to turn Africa green and create not just employment opportunities, but mostly business opportunities,” he said.
“With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) a new world order has been set, this is going to affect the job market massively, which is why we need to create more opportunities whether through shares or franchising of our business units to support the masses of our people.”
Zimbabwe is lined up to benefit from several new products that the company will offer in 2023.
Added Dr Lamba:
“We will be rolling out 100 Agilitee XPress dealership franchises, 50 Agilitee XPand Franchises, 50 Agilitee Elect Franchises and 50 Agilitee I Gad Franchises by December 2023 in South Africa only, and grow this number continually over the years.
“But a total of 500 stores in Africa as a continent will be opened by Agilitee in 2023.”
In the first quarter of 2023, Agilitee expects to complete the process of listing its shares on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, before embarking on other listings on the continent, including Zimbabwe, with the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange the most likely option.
