      Why would you bring So-called "African American" "Rappers"( Demon you weren't talking about Eminem) into the conversation concerning a Zimbabwean who isn't a "Rapper"?
      False, insincere and insulting comparison.
      Also "An Emblem of America" by John Ogilby proves this whole Continent of America belongs to those "Rappers", not just the cities.

      Zimbabwe is a COUNTRY (not known for "Rappers") not a CITY. We know who he was talking about, whom weren't the subject of the VIDEO.
      It was a slick comparison with a Real African versus the Indigenous people who are "Rappers" (Original Inhabitants of the U.S.A., Not Zimbabwe).

      He needs to be remembered like old historical cartographers are remembered.
      Although this was place was already mapped out it was not done digitally until this guy volunteered. This man is a true pioneer of technology and navigation. Thats all that matters now. We can now navigate through the streets of Zimbabwe from anywhere in the world thanks to him. No real work from the Government or any kind of funding. Just him and his car and a camera. Not only does he deserve a nice city street named after him, I even think a statue of him setting up a tripod or holding a camera would be awesome.

For some reason I went on Google map to see if I can see my parents house in South Africa. Until then I didn't know how Google map works as I have never checked it before. When I saw my family home so clear in Soweto, South Africa❤🇿🇦 I cried for few hours...LOL! 😄

    I hope he gets paid by Google for this. He is improving their product with A LOT of ingenuity, resourcefulness, and hard work. He is even educating them on how to do this so they can replicate it themselves.
    He deserves to be paid handsomely for this project or even given a team to do stuff like this through Africa!!!

      Don't know. Wanted to do this on hiking trails. What I found is google is willing to let you use their equipment but won't pay anything.

    A Zimbabwean friend of mine is also called Tawanda and he too has a brilliant world-changing mind. I really respect how this guy took it to his own hands to improve digital navigation in Africa. It's commendable. ✌️ I hope such visionaries can be noticed more and the world can understand that there are people in Africa with the potential to revolutionize the African continent.
    Love from South Africa. ✌️

      @E P Your last statement clearly shows your immense ignorance of Africa. The Axum Empire was far more advanced than the primitive North Europeans who plundered, lived in huts and whose greatest built achievement was....scribbles on small rocks. Lmao!
