12 October 2017

Government has started connecting 1 300 schools to Internet to further improve the country's literacy levels through provision of quality education and ease access to information. Information, Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services Minister Cde Supa Mandiwanzira said this yesterday while addressing delegates at the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC) underway in Buenos Aires in Argentina.

Minister Mandiwanzira said Zimbabwe had registered great success in the area of access and accessibility of internet services. "We have installed over 200 Community Information Centres (CICs), 80 of them in 2016 alone, at post offices across the country. These CICs, as we call them, serve as contemporary public amenities providing local communities with access to high speed Internet, printing and other related services, at sub-commercial and affordable rates.
