Moto Republik full statement on attempts by City of Harare to take it down

Technology and creative hub Moto Republik which was almost taken down by the city of Harare yesterday released a press statement explaining what happened.

It is true that today, @cohsunshinecity had intention of demolishing Moto Republik, Zimbabwe’s first creative hub. The demolition was halted after the intervention of the Mayor of Hre & the failure of the police to present a court order.

With all our paperwork in order, plans approved & fees paid, they are still determined to demolish Moto Republik by next week Thursday.

Moto Republik is an inspiring space that came about as a response to a community who needed a space where they could meet,work & collaborate. It has given young creative entrepreneurs a platform to professionalize, network and collaborate on ideas that potentially take us forward.

The space’s core purpose is about building community,inspiring positive progressive thinking & encouraging collaboration. Thank you to all our members & friends for the outpour of emotion & support. You are Moto Republik’s reason for being.
