The new ZPCS motorbike showroom in Harare
The Zimbabwe Prisons Correctional Services (ZPCS) has partnered Gellos Motors to establish motorcycle assembling and repairing units in correctional facilities across the country.
Launched under the company name, Correctional Industries Manufacturers, ZPCS is aiming to capacitate inmates with new skills in preparation for life after incarceration. This is also in line with the new Zimbabwe Prisons Correctional Service Act (2016) which requires inmates to be equipped with practical and life skills through setting up of vocational training centres in all prisons.
Inmates are send to workshops to learn the basics of motorbike assembling before being assigned to an assembly unit. Each assembly unit has dedicated experienced personnel who work with the assigned inmates.
Assembling kits are procured from China and each inmate, once trained can assemble one motorbike per day at minimum. Currently, ZPCS has been assembling motorcycles to capacitate government departments such as Agritex.
Priced at US$1 200, the Perreira motorbikes come with a 150cc engine and 9 litres capacity tank. The Perreira brand of motorbikes is named after Mr Angelo Perreira the founder of Gellos Motors. Mr Angelo Perreira who is also the CEO of the Correctional Industries Manufacturers is a former Zimbabwean motorbike champion.
The joint venture is expected to ramp up production to 4000 bikes a year by 2022 according to Mr Perreira. Correctional Industries Manufacturers also plans to start manufacturing furniture, farming implements, generators and grinding mills. The company has already started working on establishing a showroom in Harare.
The Perreira motorbikes were at display at the just ended 2021 Zimbabwe International Trade Fair in Bulawayo.
