Harare, January 27th 2015 - It has been a little bit since the last update and a lot of positive things has happened in Tanya's world. The 2015 Summer Series (December 10th - 14th)  was another unforgettable event. This event is comparable to how the Mini O's are run in the USA, with 2 Supercross main events and a Motocross race. Tanya was poisoned to better her previous year results where she finished 2nd overall. Her week of racing started very good, with a second in the Supercross race one. In the second Supercross race, unfortunately, a little bit of bad luck struck (broken chain in one of the main event) resulting in DNF. Tanya was ready for revenge and she won the last event of the week granting her the 3rd step of the podium overall. She was very happy to compete with her new bike, a 2014 KTM 65cc donated by the EU Delegation in Zimbabwe, and took every hole shot in all the motos she competed in.  

With the racing season completed and the end of the year fast approaching, Tanya received another honorable recognition. The country of Zimbabwe nominated Tanya as the most influential kid of the nation for 2014.  This is an outstanding accomplishment considering that she choose to use the sport of motocross in Africa to persevere and become an example for many other kids. Her younger sister Alicia, is now following Tanya's foot steps and started to ride Tanya's first bike, a Honda XR 50. I have met Alicia before and I can already tell that Tanya will have her hands full in the very near future!

Last but not least, Tanya was recently invited as a guest to participate at the National Radio show on Sports FM along side DJ Butler Nhepure.

It is still very expensive to send product that sponsors provide to Tanya in Zimbabwe, if you want to help and contribute in covering part of the shipping cost please feel free to donate at the PayPal address: Tanya.Muzinda@gmail.com

On behalf of Team Tanya, thanks to all the sponsors and people for the continuous support! Until next time!

Donnybrooke, Harare December 9th, 2014 - Tanya participated in the first race of the Summer Series today and scored a very impressive 2nd overall in Supercross event. Tonight race marked the first of the 3 races that make up the Summer Series.

Harare, October 13th -  Hello Everyone! Here some news about #TeamTanya from Zimbabwe, Africa.

After receiving her brand new KTM 65cc from the EU Delegation Tanya went to work to learn the new bike and go back into her training program. 

In September she competed in a Flat Track event at the DonnyBrooke facility in Harare finishing an outstanding second overall in the 65cc class but the biggest challenge came this past weekend, October 12th when she entered the 3rd race of the Zimbabwean Motocross championship, held once again at the Donny Brooke track.

Tanya was nervous since this event marked her return to motocross racing after a long pause due to the inability of her family to provide funds to bring her to the races. Tanya was excited  to finally race again and her talent shined once more in the 2 moto format.

In the highly competitive 65A class Tanya finished 5th overall among a rooster of 15 very motivated boys. 

Tanya will continue her training in the coming months and she is poisoned to better her results before the biggest event of the Season, the Zimbabwe Summer Series which is set to take place in December.

#TEAMTANYA is organizing a moto-vacation for anyone that may be interested in going to Africa and race the Summer Series while enjoying a safari and a trip to the Victoria Falls, one of the 7 wonders of the world. For more info on the moto-vacation please contact Tanya.Muzinda@gmail.com

Harare, August 19th. -   Today was an important day for Tanya Muzinda and the sport of motocross. Tanya was elected the Zimbabwean Honorary Ambassador for Gender, Youth and Sport by the EU Ambassador Aldo Dell’Ariccia during a very elegant ceremony, held at the DonnyBrook Motorsport park just outside Harare. 

A large number of guests of honor, including the country’s Vice President, the Ambassador of China and the Ambassador or France, were among the political figures that attended the event.

Tanya was called to the stage to speak about her dream of becoming an international motocross racer and her desire to inspire everyone in believing in their dreams. Then she took it to the track for a little demonstration of her talent.

During the ceremony Tanya was gifted a brand new KTM 65cc offered by the EU, a little token of appreciation for what she is already doing for her country and the young generation.

#TeamTanya is starting to gain attention also outside Zimbabwe and a number of technical sponsors have already embraced the project. However more funds are needed for her to receive products from all over the world and to generate the budget necessary for her to go training and racing.

A GoFundMe campaign has been created and if you would like to be part of this amazing project you can donate here: http://www.gofundme.com/axn0x8

Tanya’s dream is to come race in the US one day. We can all contribute to make her dream come through. Spread the word with the hashtag #TEAMTANYA
