## What is Batsirai?

Batsirai is Zimbabwe's A–Z marketplace — everything you need, in one app.

From plumbers and salons to events, homes, tutors and more, Batsirai connects you with verified providers across Zimbabwe. Browse, compare, message and pay in one place, without the endless back-and-forth.

EVERYTHING IN ONE APP
• Events — tickets and lineups
• Restaurants — book a table
• Beauty — salons, spas and stylists
• Home — rentals and properties for sale
• Farming — produce, livestock and farm services
• Essential — repairs, trades, solar, boreholes and cleaning
• Education — tutors, classes and driving schools
• Family — nannies, daycare and childcare
• Logistics — couriers, movers and truck hire

ASK BATSIRAI AI
Not sure where to start? Just ask. Describe what you need — "a plumber in Harare under $30", "a wedding DJ", "a 2-bed to rent" — and Batsirai finds it and prices it for you.

VERIFIED PROVIDERS
Every provider is vetted before they appear. Look for the green verified badge, read ratings and reviews from real customers, and see clear pricing before you commit.

PAY SECURELY
Payments are handled directly through Pesepay, so your money moves securely from the moment you book. No cash-in-hand guesswork, no surprises at the door.

FIND WHAT'S NEAR YOU
Switch to the map to see providers and restaurants around you, filter by category and city, and save your favourites for later.

BUILT IN ZIMBABWE
Batsirai is built in Zimbabwe, for Zimbabwe — covering Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Mutare and beyond. Whether you are at home or supporting family from the diaspora, you can find, book and pay from anywhere.

Download Batsirai and get it done.
