Tanya Muzinda is used to being first. She’s the oldest daughter of the Muzinda family and the first to go to school. After hopping aboard a motocross bike at the age of five, it only took Tanya one year to become Zimbabwe’s first female motocross champion. In 2017, she also became the first female rider to win a round at the HL Racing British Master Kids Championships and took third overall.
Muzinda’s achievements led to an appointment as the honorary ambassador of the European Union to Zimbabwe for Youth, Gender, Sports and Development. She was also named Junior Sportswoman of the year in 2018 by the Africa Union Sports Council Region Five Annual Sports Awards. After all those achievements, Tanya and her family have bigger goals in mind.
