Zimbabwe-wide pilot

Fair rides for riders. Fair earnings for drivers. Set your trip, offer a fair fare, and let Kwela help make the connection.
Pilot registrations are open now. Ride dispatch is initially supported by the Kwela operations team while live matching is completed.
Choose your trips and keep more control over what you earn.
Driver approval and trip support are part of the pilot process.

Trust has to be earned
Safety before scale.
Kwela is starting deliberately. Drivers are reviewed before being activated for passenger rides, and the pilot keeps a human operations layer while the product matures.
Driver review
Driver identity, licence and vehicle information will be checked before live-driver activation.
Phone-first contact
A valid Zimbabwe mobile number is required for ride and driver registrations so the team can reach you quickly.
Human pilot support
Early requests are visible to the Kwela operations team so problems can be handled directly instead of disappearing into an algorithm.
Built here, for here
Kwela starts across Zimbabwe.
Kwela is a Zimbabwe-first mobility platform built around a simple idea: riders should get a fair trip and drivers should earn a fair return.
We’re opening registrations before the full automated matching system is complete so the founding rider and driver community can shape the product from the beginning.
