Karl Akwasi Chifokoyo is a Zimbabwean entrepreneur, diesel technician, and environmentalist with over two decades of experience across Southern Africa, Central Asia, and beyond.
Beginning as a Class A Diesel Artisan, his career has spanned open-cast mining in Botswana, fleet and power generation management as a NATO contractor in Afghanistan, and after-sales supervision at ZIMOCO Mercedes-Benz in Harare.
