Donald Mazwati Mlambo When a Chipinge father was delegating his young son menial duties in their family electronic workshop a few years ago, little did he know that his son was going to rock the world with his inventions. The son is none other than Donald Mazwati Mlambo. The 26-year-old Donald is a Physics, Chemistry and Biology product of Gaza High School in Chipinge and Winhood College in Ruwa.
Donald started by inventing an amplifier in 2015 that two him two years to complete due to spare parts challenges. 
According to Donald, amplifiers when not that challenging. “I started inventing drones after my successful venture into amplifiers. “The initial drawback in making drones was that of heavy parts which could not stay long in the air. I used mortars those I acquired from old DVDs, printers. I realised that drones require appropriate parts,” said Donald. The Chipinge born engineer who is thankful to the ZimDigital team that financed him with circuit boards, etching pens and chemicals for amplifiers has a great vision of starting his own brand of electronic products and making synergies with established brands. 
“The vision is not all about myself but about Africans. When I look at Africa, our technology is still very poor so I hope to change the way we perceive African technology! The entry point is that we unite together and partners with people from other countries in the continent,” he continued. “We need to make simple but strong drones that are exclusive to Africa, especially Zimbabwe. These may be used by power companies, police for monitoring faulty areas and emergencies. “Local authorities may use such for surveys and agricultural entities may use such drones for spraying purposes,” the engineer added. Donald thinks that the young people in Zimbabwe have a potential in the manufacturing and assembling of electronic products. “Making of exclusive drones for Africa will build African economies and teach young people to be more innovative in technology. 
“By end of day, the electronic engineering industry may be able to sustain itself and later on export to other countries,” he concluded. Donald is now based in Harare where he joined a team of young innovative engineers in the suburb of Highfields. He is gaining industrial experience under a companied called Blitztech Electronics alongside other seasoned electric engineers, Eisten Makuyana, Brian Bvukumwe, Thabiso Derembwe, Wallace Chimboza, Victor Watambwa and Max Sibanda.
Don is making drones and flying them into the space. His dream is coming true bit by bit.
