Zimbabwe embarks on fibre optic project

Harare, 17 Aug-(ANA)-A fibre-optic project aimed at improving internet and mobile service capacities has commenced in Zimbabwe.

 

 The country hopes to use the project to easily link with other African regional groupings.

 

According to media reports the development would boost Zimbabwe’s chances of regaining its lost position as the second fastest growing Information and Communication Technology power-house in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region after South Africa.

Chief Officer for Zimbabwe Investment Agency, Richard Mbaiwa, said in an itnewsafrica.com report that work at the project started early this year pointing out the project would help link with other developing nations such as Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia.(ANA)
