About Us

Welcome to Vematongo 40's Plus Singles, the premier dating platform designed exclusively for mature individuals across the diaspora. Our mission is to bring together like-minded people who are seeking meaningful relationships in a safe and welcoming environment.  

  

Why the name Vematongo? Derived from the Shona language, one of the main ethnic groups in Zimbabwe, 'Vematongo' translates to 'people from the same area or village.' In this context, we create our own virtual village, connecting individuals who share similar backgrounds, interests, and experiences. We understand that being part of a diaspora can sometimes make it harder to find someone who truly understands your journey. That's why we have created this platform to bridge the gap and bring people together from across the diaspora, regardless of their physical location. 

  

At Vematongo, we recognize that life begins in your 40s and beyond. It's a time of self-discovery, personal growth, and the pursuit of true companionship. Whether you're divorced, widowed, or have chosen to focus on your career until now, we believe that everyone deserves a chance at finding love and happiness. Our platform caters specifically to individuals in this phase of life, where shared experiences and compatibility become crucial elements in building long-lasting relationships. 

  

Our approach to online dating is centered around fostering genuine connections. We understand that compatibility goes beyond superficial appearances. That's why Vematongo puts emphasis on shared values, beliefs, and life goals. Through our advanced matching algorithms, we help you find potential partners who align with your interests and aspirations, ensuring a higher likelihood of compatibility and long-term satisfaction. 

  

Safety and security are our utmost priorities. Our platform is equipped with strict privacy measures to safeguard your personal information and ensure a protected online dating experience. Our team actively monitors and moderates interactions to maintain a respectful and harassment-free environment for all our members. 

  

A village is not just a physical place; it's a community of support, understanding, and camaraderie. At Vematongo, we strive to recreate that sense of togetherness for our diaspora village. We encourage open dialogue, cultural exchange, and celebration of our diverse backgrounds. Through our various communication features, like chat rooms, forums, and curated events, we create opportunities to connect, engage, and meet like-minded individuals who can relate to your unique diaspora experience. 

  

So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of companionship with someone who truly understands you, join Vematongo 40's Plus Singles today. Together, let's build lasting relationships within our diaspora village, because love knows no boundaries. 

 

DATING SAFELY ONLINE:

- When engaging in online dating, it is essential to be aware of potential risks and prioritize personal safety.
- Avoid disclosing sensitive personal information, such as home address, workplace details, or financial information, to strangers online.
- Be cautious when sharing photos or videos and consider using a secure platform that allows you to have control over what is shared.
- Stay vigilant about noticing red flags or suspicious behavior, such as asking for money, pressuring for immediate meet-ups, or inconsistent stories.
- Be aware of the possibility of encountering individuals who may be involved in illegal activities like slavery, human trafficking, prostitution, or organ harvesting.
- Understand that these issues are interconnected, and your awareness can contribute to prevention efforts in combating these crimes.
- If you suspect someone you met online is involved in illegal activities, report the user to the online dating platform and consider contacting the relevant authorities.
- Consider meeting potential dates in public places and inform a friend or family member about your plans and whereabouts.
- Trust your instincts and prioritize your gut feeling. If something feels off or uncomfortable, it is important to remove yourself from the situation and seek help if necessary.
- Educate yourself about online safety, scams, and common tactics used by criminals to prey on vulnerable individuals. Resources like dating safety websites or law enforcement agencies can provide valuable information.
