Vuka seeks to follow the example set by a number of South African retailers and manufacturers, who have moved out across the continent. The company has already received and several bulk orders for motorcycles and scooters from Angola, Zimbabwe and the DRC. The first outlet to sell Vuka scooters beyond South African borders opened in Maputo in June 2009. Vukas arrive in a semi-knocked-down state in crates from China, and after years of perfecting the process, assembly staff can put a vehicle together in less than an hour.Īll vehicles are extensively tested before moving on to the retailer, and the mostly manual assembly and testing processes have enabled Vuka to create a number of new jobs. The company has recently spent considerable time developing a motorcycle specifically designed for African road conditions – the Vuka RT 125, which will be launched in August 2009. Vuka evaluated more than 30 Chinese motorcycles and scooter models before deciding on the right models for the African climate and road conditions. Features include improved rubber components, stronger shock absorbers, and more durable instrument panels for the African sun. The stylish motorcycles and scooters are manufactured in China but assembled in South Africa and have been developed for South African and African conditions. Launched in 2006, the Vuka (an isiXhosa word, meaning “wake up” or “get moving”) two-wheelers have become increasingly popular, especially in light of the unpredictable cost of fuel, high interest rates, and often unbearable congestion of South Africa’s urban roads. The company has started marketing its motor scooters in Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Not content with revolutionising the way South Africans commute, local developer Vuka Scuta is now branching out into other African countries.
