On February 10, 2025, an innovative car was unveiled. In a milestone that could revolutionize the energy and automotive industry, Zimbabwean engineer Sangulani Maxwell Chikumbutso has developed a generator capable of transforming electromagnetic waves into electricity, allowing a vehicle to run without fossil fuels or batteries.

The innovative system was unveiled in Zimbabwe with the Saith EV, an electric car capable of reaching 220 km/h powered solely by this new energy source. The local company Saith Technologies, in collaboration with the Chinese company KAIYI, which provided the bodywork, has made this unprecedented technological breakthrough possible.
The news has caused a great international impact. The British newspaper Lion Herald noted, “Chikumbutso’s invention could disrupt the global energy and automotive industries, potentially positioning Zimbabwe as a leader in clean energy technology.”
Chikumbutso, 44, has worked for decades on the technology and has finally succeeded in realizing his vision: a generator that captures radio frequency waves and converts them into electricity, a concept that promises unlimited, free energy.
Beyond the automotive industry, this invention has the potential to power homes, factories and transportation systems without cost or environmental impact, which could radically transform global geopolitics and reduce conflicts over energy resources.
From Africa, where fire (energy) was first produced more than 400,000 years ago, now comes an innovation that could mark a before and after in the history of mankind.
