Zimbabwe's ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera fired back at claims made by activist Blessed Geza about rising child exploitation. Mavetera skipped naming Geza directly but stood firm about her team's work protecting kids online. After attending the Mashonaland Central Digitilise Zimbabwe ICT event in Bindura, she jumped on social media to defend government actions. Many expressed surprise at how strongly she pushed back against these accusations.
"We stay committed to keeping children safe in digital spaces. Our team actively creates strict rules for online safety to block any form of abuse," Mavetera declared. Geza had blasted the administration for not stopping child exploitation, especially through technology. He demanded better rules and wanted officials to answer for these problems. His statements sparked heated talks among citizens - some backed his worries, but others saw Mavetera's answer as proof the government means business.
During her Bindura appearance, Mavetera talked about several plans to boost computer skills and beef up internet security. These included working with different groups to build safer online spaces for young people. Public opinion remains split about her response to the situation. Nobody knows yet if Mavetera plans to tackle Geza's claims head-on or create fresh policies to strengthen protection for kids using technology.
As this debate heats up, regular Zimbabweans keep a close watch on how their leaders handle such an important issue. The government faces pressure to show real action beyond just making statements. Parents want clear steps to protect their children from online dangers, not just promises. The coming weeks may reveal whether Mavetera backs her words with meaningful changes to safeguard vulnerable young internet users across the country.
