Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
YoAfrica
residential isp zimbabwe broadband
The AS handle YoAfrica3 is operated by YoAfrica (Pvt) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
s17456.broadband.yoafrica.comandparadise.paradise.yoafrica.com. - The network announces 3328 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes while maintaining only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio that indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- The registrant for the 41.190.58.0/23 prefix is listed as YoAfrica (Pvt) Ltd, matching the AS holder, while other prefixes show unknown registrants in the RDAP data.
- The inventory consists of five IPv4 prefixes with no IPv6 prefixes announced, reflecting a purely IPv4-based service footprint.

Reputation
Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
