“We are still working on other designs for use in
the film industry and police work. I am humbled by how our team is coming up
with innovative ideas of simplifying drone technology. I urge young minds with
a passion for electric engineering to be more focused. The future of engineering
is in their hands,” he said.

Mlambo started by
making an amplifier in 2015 that took him two years to complete due to spare
parts challenges. He
later received a
donation from ZimDigital which provided him with circuit boards,
etching pens and chemicals.
