Zimbabweans worry about who collects their personal information. Many feel concerned when government offices or big tech companies gather their private details. The Cyber and Data Protection Act aims to fix these problems. People want better rules to keep their online activities private and secure.

Yesterday, in Harare, a workshop taught folks about cyber safety. Dr. Beaullar Chirume from the ICT Ministry explained why Parliament created these new laws. She mentioned how government agencies handle a lot of sensitive information daily. Citizens trust these systems because they believe their details stay protected from hackers and misuse.

Bad actors keep finding new ways to steal data, hack accounts, and violate privacy. These attacks hurt national security and make people lose faith in digital services. POTRAZ, the telecommunications authority, pushed for these regulations to control how businesses collect and use personal information. The rules also tackle cybersecurity threats throughout Zimbabwe.

The government keeps moving toward digital systems under its development plan. Dr. Chirume stressed that protecting data remains crucial for electronic government services, online shopping, and digital banking to succeed. Mrs. Tsitsi Mariwo from POTRAZ added that respecting personal information protects human dignity. People deserve freedom from unwanted snooping into their private matters and facts about themselves.
