Company
Building Africa's intelligence chain.
Tongai was founded to turn Zimbabwe's stranded energy assets into the compute capacity the world's AI economy is starving for — owned, operated, and accountable within a single group.
Our Mission
Three commitments that define Tongai.
Sovereign resilience
A complete AI infrastructure chain outside the Northern Hemisphere — diversified against grid, climate, and geopolitical concentration risk.
Sustainable by design
98% heat recovery, PUE < 1.05, and solar+BESS daylight shaving. AI infrastructure that is net-positive, not net-cost.
Local capability
Built and operated by Zimbabwean engineers, financed with DFI and sovereign-wealth participation, anchored to national resources.
Leadership
Built by operators.
Executives combining deep Zimbabwe extractive-industry expertise with institutional-grade international experience across energy, technology, and infrastructure finance.
Paul Chimbodze
Chairman
Four decades across Zimbabwe mining, energy, and infrastructure. Former senior roles in national resource development.
