Building a business that delivers

Koki Delivery has expanded beyond China, partnering with Loyal Squire Private Limited in Zimbabwe and Loyal Squire South Africa. They've also established Shanghai International Hazmat Logistics, focusing on the safe transportation of dangerous goods, particularly relevant to Zimbabwe's growing lithium industry.

The entrepreneurial path hasn't been smooth. "We've had many doors slammed in our faces," Fungura admits. "Some people say no, or some say they'll think about it and we never hear from them again."

But she and Marembo's complementary personalities — her careful planning balancing his bold initiatives — create a strong foundation. "We are yin and yang in business," she says with a smile.

Their first major corporate deal came as a surprise. "We never imagined that we'd get a deal of this magnitude," Fungura recalls. "When the delivery succeeded, it was like an accomplishment and achievement. It shows the growth aspect and is something to look forward to."

Currently serving over 120 users across B2B and B2C segments, Koki Delivery grows through word-of-mouth and social media. Their client base ranges from individuals seeking personal products to companies requiring logistics solutions.

Lin-gang Special Area proved an ideal launchpad for their venture. "The area demonstrates real support for foreign entrepreneurs," Fungura explains. "We have access to world-class facilities, affordable office space, and proximity to crucial ports and airports, which is important for those in the logistics industry."
