Local web-developer launches own ‘YouTube’

A renowned Bulawayo based web-designer Donald Chabata, known as Tyga Sparta, has developed a Zimbabwean video-sharing website titled ZimboTube which is similar to the globally popular, Google-owned YouTube, headquartered in California.

ZimboTube, just like Youtube, allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to playlists, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users.

Speaking about this initiative Chabata said he realised the demand of YouTube by Zimbabwean people and thought of an idea of creating a similar website that can cater for the locals.
