I took ZUPCO Train in Harare, Zimbabwe Africa Ep12.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2024
- The railway transport is managed by a company called ZUPCO which is an abbreviation for Zimbabwe United Passenger Company.
It has 3 routes Tynwald route, Ruwa city route and Western Route.
Today I shall be taking you to the
the Western service from city center to Mufakoze. It leaves the Harare station at 5:15 am and arrives at Mufakoze by 6:10 am. The return journey leaves Mufakoze at 6:25am and arrives at Harare station, city center by 7:20am. A good time to get to work!
These passenger trains operates only at Peak hours to ease congestion on roads . That means they only operate in the morning and evening
One thing I must appreciate from my experience is the timeliness of the train. Also on your way from Mufakoze you will have a beautiful view of Harare as you approach the city.

Zimbos please appreciate the fact that a lady, (A.Tigress) is alone in the train so early yet she's safe and can take out her camera without fear of criminals and there is not even a single police officer in sight . . i think ts a ''little'' something to appreciate
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Come on, being alone in a massive train is different from being with a few other people around.. With people around expect the unexpected

Thank you for the love. I'm really enjoying my time in Zim!
Facts
I must say that I'm embarrassed to admit that I have never been on a train in Zimbabwe, but have used trains in South Africa and in the UK. Your video has made me include ZUPCO train ride on my bucket list. You have amazing journalistic skills and your work is so inspiring. Well done Dear Sis😍. I am really loving Zimbabwe through your lens.
Glad my video made it to your bucket list. Thank you for watching.
@@AFRICANTIGRESS You are welcome
I like the way you embrace positivity in your comments. As Zimbabweans we don’t realise how unhelpful we are by criticism everything.
These trains are actually way better than I thought they would be. I think it's really good, and in due time as people grow more accustomed to them, I'm hopeful that people will use them a lot more. Progress is fantastic.
This video has changed my perspective on the whole train issue. It doesn't look as bad.

Gotta thank you for making an early start and showing us the views, based on the work you have done there people will endeavour to visit. Keep going girl, you and Wode Maya are achieving what accredited diplomats are failing to achieve,where tourism is concerned. I thank you.
X Tigress 4 beleiving in zimbabwe. Enjoy yr stay
This is very humbling. Thank you so much.
"Lord guide us in this earthly journey as we await your Second Coming where you will take us on an everlasting journey aboard your heavenly train." What a prayer by that man on the train...
Beautiful prayer.
I can't wait to visit Zimbabwe next year. Zimbabwe has a bright future, soon that land will become a hope of peaceful life to alot of Africans especially south Africans
bright future yes minus zanu pf as long as is there forget thats a pipe dream
Indeed
@@isaacmoyo2313 Sadly, that particular aspect of Zimbabwe is what is hindering any meaningful investment from The West. I believe Zimbabwe has to look inward for that strength to build on what it already has. *Once bitten........* comes to mind.
Go Tigress Another wonderful feed. You are a trend setter.
I just left South Africa and Kenya a week ago. Why didn’t I spend at least three days in Zimbabwe. Your videos make me want to tour Zimbabwe. I have too !!
I told u on a live video of Keganda and u started talking about how the country was a shit hole and about how the economy had collapsed..not sure if u still remember
@@sherryproudafrican4784 no I don’t remember. And maybe your in your feelings or something. I lived in Africa 5 years, go back twice a year. Maybe some one who looks like me, quote me before say some nonsense and try to call someone out. Maybe the politics I’m not down with, it never diss a country. Nice try tho !!!
@@soulrebel2006 Not in my feelings..I know u very well..someone put a comment that he would want to buy a farm in Zimbabwe bcz he found out that they had the most fertile land in Africa and u said from your own words "don't try it..the country is a shit hole....with dilapidated infrastructure" then I replied u and u said you're in South Africa and Zimbabweans are everywhere here and causing conflicts with their neighbors..I told u to go to Zimbabwe and check if what you're hearing about Zimbabwe is true..u had nothing but negative comments about Zimbabwe...don't take it personal but it's exactly what u said..not your fault bcz that's what they told u..maybe next time when you're in s.a you might visit..if I happen to be in Zim I might take u around ✌
@@sherryproudafrican4784 you don’t know me lol. If you know me, you would know I support Africa to the fullest and always giving superchats to African and Black channels. Politics I don’t like, it creates a wedge between people, but you have never heard me or seen me in a chat diss an African Country and People, but again, nice try lol !!
@@soulrebel2006 Let's leave it here...we've been on these repats videos together for years....I know u support the movement but I hardly forget..it's alright
Another gem of a video my African Sister. Thanks for showing us wholesome Harare and the diversity represented therein. It is this diversity that makes Zimbabwe and Africa rich. Through your videos, we continue to learn, to see, to appreciate and celebrate Africa in its enterity. Keep up the good work and objectivity. 😍
That indeed is the goal... to tell the rich stories of Africa in our own way. Thank you for watching.
I'm a subscriber from the US great video keep the content coming 💯😊
I'm a Zimbabwean youtuber. I last used a train about 14 years ago when I was still a kid. You just made me want to get on the train again. I think I'll do a vlog with my husband 🤗
You should Nyasha
WeNyasha,yet to meet your RUclips channel.Hope you shall share it.Zimbabwe is lacking good RUclipsrs and i hope the coming in of African Tigress shall challenge our local RUclipsrs to up their game
AT, you have reminded me of why I fell in love with Zim 7 years ago when I first travelled there. I was too scared to move there alone permanently at the time but inshallah within the next 2 years I'll be there to contribute to Papa Zim
how much did they pay you to paint thatglossy picture about zimbabwe Zimbabwe is finished 6000000zimbabweans are out of the country
@@isaacmoyo2313 please point out the sentence where I painted a glossy picure of Zim, or are you blind as well as illiterate?

Please visit Bulawayo..the second capital of Zimbabwe...a lot of history n sites to explore

As a Zimbabwean abroad, I truly appreciate this experience you've shared with us👏
With respect, Why did it take a visitor from Kenya to film all this? Out of the vlogers I see it’s mostly all about them. I hope this helps Zim vlogers show these parts this is the type of video I expect but it took a visitor to do it thanks African tigress.

Thank you for the love.
Nice train ride,🚂 without leaving the house💐
It has potential to be better
It reminds me of the Metrorail I once boarded in SA from pretoria to boksburg but the training kept getting stuck 😂🤣 along the way a 1 hour journey would take 3 to 4 hrs.
Beautiful country thanks for sharing
Zimbabwe wants to adopt u African Tigress. Give in, you belong here. Got so much love for what u do
Great video showing the resumption of commuter services, Now they need to redo the interior and repaint the whole fleet.
We have to understand that National Railway of Zimbabwe [NRZ] is one of the companies targeted by sanctions imposed by the West.
Bulawayo - Illegal sanctions have hit the National Railways of Zimbabwe hard as companies in the West are refusing to supply spares for its broken down equipment.
NRZ general manager Retired Air Commodore Mike Karakadzai said the company was also failing to open letters of credit with international financial institutions to access the much needed foreign currency. 2008
The pastor's words are as follows... " May God guide the train driver and our conductors, who handle any complications that may arise. Join us together so that we may become one family. When you come Lord Jesus, may we all not be found wanting. When you come to take us home to rest... On a train that will not come to a halt nor break down, for all eternity."
Thank you for translating. This is such a beautiful prayer.
It's so beautiful that this pastor is praying for safe train journey for everyone and not trying to convert passengers to his church or religion ❤
@@AFRICANTIGRESS You are welcome. Indeed his words are so deep.
@@Faridbuza that's so true. His prayers are genuine.
Wow thank you..16 or so years ago this train saved my life, We used to walk from Glen View to Mufakose to catch it while i was at the uz. Its good to see it running, the vandalism is heartbreaking this line use to be electrified.I hope things improve because a lot of people need the service,
Thank you African Tigress for showing us home I miss it yes we have the best sunset there and weather is always great .
Zimbabwe beautiful country....love from kenya🇰🇪✌
Thank you for visiting Zim. The sunrises and sunsets are truly the best. Enjoy💓🙏🏾
She is coming to Byo, look out for her and show here around

I enjoyed the video Miss Tigress. I offered my support by watching all the ads. Stay blessed.
Watching the ads really helps since travel in Africa is quite costly. I appreciate your support. Thank you.
They say DNA has memory. I felt that music in my SOUL! 🖤🖤🇿🇼
THANK U @AFRICAN TIGRESS plz dont listen to the TOXIC people , keep up the good work ur doing
Keep posting AT uptown and downtown townships and surbubs altogether. ..The pastor was praying for journey mercies thanks for sharing👍👌✌✊🙏
I'm happy you made this video now . When we arrived where we are going everyone who doesn't believe will see in order to believe all will change
I appreciate the sense of order and spaciousness that characterises Zimbabwe.

Not sure of the number, but they arrived in Harare. Please google it
@@makanakamaenzanise3602 in zim, 50 already there n more coming plus new trains
Thank you for your rich content Tigress please visit Bulawayo and Matobo hills..
Yes
I feel embarassed by our railway System hoping for the best an Upgrade to it to increase efficiency
Exactly this is not acceptable.
I feel you. But don't be. At least this is yours. Not like the ones being done elsewhere in Africa, with Chinese loans and contractors, where the trains have Chinese flags flying inside them.
Never feel embarrassed of progress. I live in the U.S. my town doesn't even have a commuter rail system. So, who should really be embarrassed? Certainly not you. :-)
@@qutieqouture6846 you can't really say that. Chinese even win contracts and build stuff in America, it's all about investment and a return on that investment. In my country Kenya, they have built one but it is not for free, we are paying for it and I can't start comparing the Zim to Kenya's even the old railway that was built by the colonialists.
I’m embarrassed that you’re are a Zimbabwean like me who is blind to see that beauty of the country indicated here and only comment on her disappointment on a train. We are here seeing beauty and trying to promote our country here you are spreading nonsense. Stop with your negativity and balance your opinions
I absolutely love ❤️ what you do ❤️❤️& what you are doing for our beloved Zim. Well done 👏🏿. God bless you.
Thank you so much.
The need vamp up trains a little bit but doesn't looks too bad my local train station is Starbucks and ticket place and that's it
Very good narrative and videography. Would love to see how the trains are, inside, outside, service and even the tracks and signals where it's possible and safely to do so.
Thanks for sharing your tour of Zimbabwe!!! It is a very beautiful country!!!
Thank yu ..yu are just doing yo good work coz of yor ambition to explore on the continent of Africa ...yu are doing it for your self not to please the Western folks .may the lord bless uu for your positive thoughts and views you revived dead souls of our citizens ...thank yu for staying away from negativity yu are not toxic youtuber
Thank you Panashe. I'm humbled. I try not to pay attention to the negative comments.

I will not be available today Tigress, to watch this one; as I have a trip to make. On a different note, where is the Mosi-a-tunya video? (I know you are scared of thundering waters as you did in DRC at that scenic hotel where you ducked and let the local man go and stand in the 'cleansing mist....did History repeat itself at the Zambezi Madam?)
Videos from Vic falls coming later. I loved it 🥰🤗
Cant wait
@@AFRICANTIGRESS please use the correct name Mosi-oa-tunya. Queen Victoria was an enemy of Africa not a benefactor. Why do we valorize those who despise us?
Well done Tigress. Really appreciate your positive approach. We are proud of you.
yes proper platforms still needed but enjoyed the video and the characters you saw on the train.
Loved the preacher cz you also get that on buses in Nairobi as well. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for sharing my beautiful country ❤
Beautiful old train we are not the West as long is it is transport that is all.those who feel embarrassed should not go on board
💯
Zimbabweans should stop settling for mediocrity. These trains are old from the colonial period. Go on Twitter and see how the youth are calling out the government for not building new trains. Africa will never develop if we don’t hold our leaders accountable for looting funds.
Africans deserve better. If the rest of the world are riding clean new fast trains why shouldn’t africans pressure their government to do the same?
This reminds me of going back to my grandma rural home after it was neglected for almost 30 years. We had to remove overgrown weeds and shrubs to get to the dilapidated buildings left at the mercy of the weather for decades. National Railways of Zimbabwe, I hope your efforts in Zupco train will continue until we have that train to Chitungwiza which was supposed to be constructed from 1986 but is still on papers, that is If they still exist. Good start, I wish you great success because the people need this serious work desperately. It’s long overdue
Reminder set
Good day Tigress, what is the factory in background, they look like smoke stacks

What I can say is that Harare has a thriving economy, expecting you'll pay million dollars for train ticket (hyperinflation) but quite affordable have seen through your lenses Harare is the opposite what I've seen in BBC, CNN

@@AFRICANTIGRESS i once visited Tanzania. So i know a bit
3:08 that is really cheap compared to the scenery you get, it seems they used electric train with electricity poles on the tracks. Enjoying the contents from Zimbabwe, hongera
The railway line from Harare to Gweru was electrified in the early 1980s, paid for by the UK Thatcher government (development aid).
During the hyperinflation, scrap metal, especially copper, was easily sold for cash, and all of the copper wire in the catenary above the tracks from Harare to Gweru for conducting electricity to electric locomotives, was stolen, a little at a time.
.
A one way ticket, second class, from Bulwayo to Victoria Falls used to be about ZWD$18, in the 1980s, from memory. Victoria Falls to Livingstone was something like 85 cents.
The NRZ had about 600 locomotives, and Botswana had about say 5 locomotives, at Zimbabwe's independence (1980). Zimbabwe now has less than 100 locomotives left in working order, whereas Botswana now has about 45 locomotives.
.
Meanwhile, more recently, the PRC has built / upgraded a railway line in Kenya !
Wow great vid...#Zimbabwe is awesome
Jambo Afrika! This is the Africa we want ❤️
Great content not bad at all 🥰🥰🥰
