 I'm very pleased now to be talking to Super Collins Mundy-1-Zera. He is the Minister for Information and Communication Technology in Zimbabwe. Mr Mundy-1-Zera, welcome. Thank you very much for having me. Now, I know that Zimbabwe is taking great strides in the cities, in Harare, and in the major towns in terms of fibre optic and rolling out services to those people. But you do have isolated parts of the country, some provincial towns and villages. How are you helping those people access ICTs? You ask a very important point because 70% of our populations in Zimbabwe lives in rural areas, the isolated areas you are talking about. We have taken a deliberate strategy as government to ensure that those areas equally have access to internet. And one immediate solution we have found is to lower the cost of acquiring visas. A visa has been available to those that can afford and you have to get a license of over US$1,000, US$2,000, US$5,000 in some instances. And really they have been used by banks, which have remote branches. But we have reduced the cost from over US$1,000 to US$30,000 to ensure that majority of schools in the rural areas can afford it, hospitals can afford it, clinics can afford it. And individuals, farmers can also afford it. So that's one immediate strategy that we have deployed. Just by way of clarification, VSET would mean basically satellite internet. Yeah, satellite internet, which also has voice capability. They call it very small aperture terminal, which means that it uses a satellite and you can have it, just like you have satellite TVs, but this time it's not TV, it's more data and voice. So it was originally for business, clearly, you've slashed the cost, have people responded to that, have the numbers of people taking up that service increased? There has been an immediate response to those that sell this equipment. We have a government-owned company called Telwan, which is a fixed line operator. And now they're offering broadband. They have immediately taken up this challenge and they are busy right now running campaigns for people to know that it has become cheaper to access this technology. So there's quite a huge demand according to their numbers. And of course we have other companies that are now also taking advantage. And of course for banks, we have reduced their costs, but we are also encouraging them to say, well, the savings, in terms of your budgets, you had budget to spend so much money. Can you help the communities, perhaps part of the money you are saving, can it now go towards schools, towards post offices to ensure that we are broadening the number of people that have access to internet? Okay. And in the community centers themselves, are people able to access this internet or is it all through the banks, as it were, in these villages? No, no, in the communities what is happening is that we go onto a school, they have this infrastructure. So during the day, the pupils, the students, have access to the internet. In the evenings, the entire community, they can go and also access this internet. So it really runs under the banner of Connector School, Connector Community Program, where once the school has internet, once the school has this infrastructure, in the evenings, because it's not being used, we can get the community to get involved. And what do you think or what do you hope will be the benefit to Zimbabwe from this program? I think that, you know, Zimbabwe is an agricultural economy. A majority of our people have, as I've said earlier on, live in rural areas. It's no easy access to information, information relating to health programs, information relating to outbreaks, weather patterns, agricultural information, market information. We think that this will improve the economic activity in the rural areas. But more importantly, education is the most important thing. We are renowned on the African continent as a country for having the most literate population. And this will enhance that. Well, Minister Mandi-Wanzira, thank you very much for your time today. Thank you very much for having me. It's been a great pleasure being here.
