About Kitovu
Published · Updated
Kitovu is a building materials business in Zanzibar, Tanzania, with 11 products held in stock on the island. Enquiries and orders go through WhatsApp, each product card shows its price in TZS with the unit, and sales are limited to Zanzibar for now. The website also explains other materials, citing its sources.
What Kitovu sells
The stock is small and specific: waterproofing products, geotextile and geomembrane, drainage parts, one porcelain floor tile, one wall-hung toilet, fibre for concrete and rebar chairs. All of it is listed, with photos and specifications, on the stock list. Kitovu does not take orders through the site itself; every enquiry goes to WhatsApp.
What the website is for
Most pages here are not about Kitovu’s stock. They explain building materials that people in Tanzania look for — what each is, the sizes and grades, what to check — using data sheets and manufacturers’ documents. Where Kitovu does not hold a material, the page says nothing about selling it. The rules for figures and their labels are on how we research; makers named on the site are grouped under brands.
What is not public yet
A street address, opening hours, an email address and the registered business details have not been published. The site has no named author. When these are settled they will appear here and on contact. How an order is formed is covered in the terms of use.
