In this episode of Yango Unraveled, Tapiwa sits down with two Yango partners turning World Cup fever into business growth. Captain Jonathan, a Yango driver, shares how he's modelled his rides after the airline experience, mints, water, charging cables, free Wi-Fi, and letting passengers set the vibe, all part of his long-term vision to eventually run his own fleet. Mike, a courier partner, breaks down how he's meeting the World Cup delivery surge through consistency and collaboration, while using his hustle to create opportunities for others. Together, their stories capture how Yango partners are turning the football season into a launchpad for bigger goals, and reflect Yango's broader mission of empowering communities.

What can happen when a curious mind is given the opportunity to build? For Fredrick Mwepu, a childhood fascination with taking things apart to understand how they worked eventually grew into RoboCore Zambia, a locally developed robotics platform designed to make practical STEM education more accessible and affordable. On this week’s episode of Yango Unraveled, Thapiwa Ngoma sits down with Fredrick to unpack his journey from being selected as one of just 24 fellows from more than 600 applicants for the Yango Fellowship 2026, to developing his idea through the 12-week programme, travelling to Abidjan and ultimately winning the Best Individual Project award. He also opens up about his passion for practical STEM education, the inspiration behind RoboCore and why he believes young people shouldn't wait for the “right age” to start making an impact. From breaking toys to building solutions, catch Fredrick’s story on the latest episode of Yango Unraveled.
Lusaka moves fast. Every morning, people make a choice, to sit back or to keep going. In this episode of Yango Unraveled, we meet two riders who chose to move. A medical student chasing one of the toughest careers and a young mother doing everything she can to provide. Real people showing up, pushing through the pressure, and choosing to keep going.
Some people wait their turn. Fridah Mwenge didn’t. While still in university, she’s already wearing many hats, engineer, founder, farmer, speaker, and climate activist , and somehow making it all make sense. With 7 Junior Engineers, Technicians and Scientists (JETS )Fair Awards, global speaking stages, and the youngest Yango STEM Fellowship under her belt, her story is not about potential… it’s about action. In this episode of Yango Unraveled, Fridah breaks down how she built Young Changemakers Zambia, and why creating space for young girls in STEM couldn’t wait. It’s honest. It’s grounded. And it’s a reminder that impact doesn’t need permission.
