Zimbabwean Inventor Chikumbutso Develops Groundbreaking Self-Powering Electric Vehicle

Zimbabwean inventor and entrepreneur Maxwell Chikumbutso has achieved a remarkable breakthrough in automotive technology by developing one of the world’s first self-powering electric vehicles. His innovation, the Saith FEV, operates without the need for fuel, recharging, or any external power source.
Designed by Chikumbutso’s company, Saith Technologies, the vehicle is powered entirely by radio waves, a revolutionary advancement that challenges conventional energy systems. This groundbreaking technology has the potential to transform the global automotive industry by eliminating reliance on traditional fuel sources and battery charging infrastructure.
Chikumbutso’s work is a testament to Africa’s growing presence in scientific and technological innovation. The continent is not only rich in natural resources but also home to brilliant inventors pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Alongside Chikumbutso, other African innovators like Malawi’s William Kamkwamba, who built a windmill from scrap materials to generate electricity for his village, and Lawrence Nyando, known for his advancements in engineering, continue to demonstrate Africa’s untapped potential in technology and innovation.
As these inventors pave the way for sustainable and independent energy solutions, their contributions underscore the need for greater investment in African talent, research, and development.
