\n<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ICT sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in Zimbabwe as signified by a 14% growth in 2015, translating to a 5% contribution to GDP. Key areas in the Zimbabwe ICT sector are: Telecommunication services \u2013 voice, data and internet, broadband and satellite services connectivity; Postal and courier services; and value added services \u2013 mobile money, applications and social media.<\/p>\n
