Bundu Foundation

Foundation governance

Three categories under the Foundation.

Bundu Foundation is a Zimbabwe Companies Limited by Guarantee (CLG). Below it, work is organised into three categories. The boundaries are intentional — what is Foundation-pure stays open-source and uncommercialised; what is operated by Nyuchi is governed by the Foundation.

  • Foundation projects

    Open-source technical assets.

    Open-source technical projects: NTL (Neural Transfer Layer), Nyuchi Honeycomb, SiafuDB and SiafuDB-Kuzu, and Harare Metro. They live in the bundu-labs, openNTL, and siafuDB GitHub organisations. Foundation-governed; operated by the pillars.

  • Foundation initiatives

    Programmes, not products.

    ZIP (Zimbabwe Information Platform) — verification, directories, and travel-and-business information. Bundu Education — the education arm of the Foundation, with Nyuchi Learning as its commercial expression. Nyuchi Gov Tech — the government services initiative, run by Bundu Labs (the Foundation's development arm), building digital ecosystems for governments across Africa. Initiatives are Foundation-run programmes, separate from the open-source technical projects.

    Initiatives

  • Foundation-governed, pillar-operated

    The shared category.

    All four platform tokens (MIT, MXT, NST, NHC) are governed by the Foundation. Mukoko operates MIT and MXT on the consumer side; Nyuchi operates NST and NHC as part of the Honeycomb decentralised storage network — beyond Web3, post-quantum ready, in active development.

Shareholder structure

Three voting shareholders. Investors hold non-voting economic shares.

Nyuchi Africa (Pvt) Ltd has three voting shareholders: Bryan Fawcett personally, the Fawcett family holding company, and the Bundu Foundation. Investors receive non-voting economic shares only.

The structure is deliberate. The Foundation carries governance over the platform tokens, the Foundation projects, and the categories above. The voting block cannot be displaced by capital. Mission alignment is a structural property, not a covenant we have to keep renewing.
