His work with Uhai Media got him on the Deputy Prime Minister’s Rebranding Panel and on the national STICT 2010 (Sports Tourism Image and Communications Taskforce). His clients included some of Zimbabwe’s biggest firms, like Innscor Franchising and Axcil Jefferies. In 2011, Mutambo shut down Uhai to seek opportunities that would allow him combine his love for marketing and Information and Communications Technology which gave birth to Esaja.com. Esaja, an acronym for Empowering Solutions and Joint Action. By 2016, Esaja, which operates from Harare, had made a mark in over 15 countries in Africa. For his enterprise, he was named one of Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 Entrepreneurs for 2015.The Esaja platform went into live Beta on 25 May 2013.

Esaja.com is a marketing platform committed to facilitating trade and cooperation between small and medium scale enterprises and big corporations on the continent. It is self-described as Africa’s business and yellow pages directory for distributors, suppliers, agents, buyers, wholesalers, importers and exporters.

“The key motivation behind Esaja Continental Services is to be an enabler of progress and prosperity across Africa,” Mutambo said. “By definition this means that our efforts should lead to more jobs being created as a result of traders accessing wider markets and ultimately more value addition is happening. The challenge is massive and exciting enough to feed our passion for Africa.”
