What's needed?
What's coming?
Who can move it?
Chilo Exchange turns the ordinary Zimbabwe ↔ South Africa economy into structured, searchable requests. Tell the network what Zimbabwe wants, what is already coming home, what needs to be sourced in South Africa or who has trip capacity.
Five actions cover most of the corridor.
These create demand and movement signals without Chilo pretending to own the stock or transport.
Start with people already doing the work.
Current area, stock and terms must still be confirmed directly.
Wanted in Zimbabwe
Before somebody buys random stock in South Africa, show them what customers are asking for.
Stock Going Home
For traders or travellers who already bought legitimate goods and expect to sell them in Zimbabwe.
Find It in South Africa
Ask a runner to find a product, confirm basic evidence and report back before collection or purchase.
Going Home / Space Available
Drivers and travellers can signal a route and lawful carrying capacity. Every post should expire after the trip.
Ask a Runner to Check a Price
Instead of guessing from Facebook posts, ask for a current shop/seller price and basic product evidence.
No fake activity.
The public feed starts empty. Chilo publishes real requests only after review, then expires time-sensitive posts instead of manufacturing marketplace liquidity.
