Two companies joined forces Monday to build fast internet cables across Zimbabwe. Paratus Zimbabwe teams up with PowerTel Communications for the major project. Both firms will pay equal amounts to create the fiber network. The partnership aims to connect cities throughout the country.

PowerTel works under ZESA, which supplies electricity to Zimbabwe. Paratus Zimbabwe belongs to the larger Paratus Group that operates across Africa. The companies plan to finish the first part within six months. Workers will connect Plumtree and Bulawayo to Livingstone during this phase.

Willard Nyagwande leads PowerTel Communications and supports the deal. He believes the network will help people and businesses access better internet. Martin Cox speaks for Paratus Group and calls the agreement great news. The partnership will expand services through existing company networks.

Paratus Group already works across Namibia, Zambia, Angola and South Africa. The company wants to become a major player throughout Africa. Leaders say the new network will create digital pathways for more African people. The fiber cables will link neighboring countries better than before.

The agreement marks important progress for Zimbabwe's technology growth. Both companies expect to deliver affordable internet to more citizens. The network will make Zimbabwe a key digital center for southern Africa. Fast connections will help the country compete with regional neighbors.
