Information Minister Tatenda Mavetera plans to move extra towers from places that already have many. During her visit, she said moving these towers helps companies spend less money, which makes services cheaper for everyone. The government wants local companies to make low-cost phones and computers for citizens. Minister Mavetera went to Bindura last Friday, where she kicked off the ICT Expo and a new program called Digitalize Zimbabwe. Her day started at Chipadze Detox and Rehabilitation Center, where she brought five laptops, a printer, a projector, and a whiteboard as gifts. She firmly believes everyone deserves computer skills, including people at rehab centers across the country. The minister told patients they should learn tech skills before they leave. She explained that these abilities would help them succeed when they return home to their communities. She promised that the current setup was just the beginning and that they would receive more equipment later. The center currently helps 18 patients, and Dr. Budirirai Gwagwa runs the facility. Dr. Gwagwa thanked the minister for making their center better. He mentioned that they already teach computer skills to patients. These digital abilities will benefit them after treatment ends. He said they recently held a public event to raise money for making the center bigger. Many people showed up at Chipadze Stadium to see Minister Mavetera launch the ICT Expo. Joe Mupfupi asked her to build digital centers near crowded neighborhoods. He said young people living there really need computer training. Mr. Mupfupi also appreciated how the government recently made internet data cheaper for everyone. Mike Nyakudya expressed thanks to President Mnangagwa for working hard to connect rural areas with digital technology. The push to bring networks to remote places marks a major step forward. The Universal Services Fund makes these improvements possible through the smart redistribution of existing resources. [/QUOTE]
