Four businesses, all trading

Vehicle imports, delivered across Zimbabwe.

BF Mutare sources vehicles overseas to customer order, handles shipping, port clearance and duty, and delivers to owners nationwide. Based in Mutare, operating right around Zimbabwe. It is the group’s longest-running operation and the first to take a website.

Quality goods, great value — delivered in Mutare.

A neighbourhood retailer with an online catalogue and same-day delivery across Mutare. Its Diaspora Shopping Programme lets a relative abroad buy the actual groceries and have them delivered to a household here, which turns a remittance into goods rather than into an exchange-rate problem.

• Local delivery

Engine, gearbox and suspension work. Since 1996.

A working repair shop rather than a parts counter: engine and gearbox overhauls, suspension, brakes, clutches, tune-ups and hybrid systems. It is the oldest business in the group by some distance, and the one people bring a car to when someone else could not fix it.

• Suspension & brakes
• Hybrid systems

Time to Toast.

A licensed liquor store in Mutare built around a daily ritual: at 4:20 the work stops and you pour one. Premium spirits and Zimbabwean craft alongside tasting nights and cultural evenings. It reclaims “420” as a moment to pause — the brand is explicit that it is not a cannabis outlet.
