The latest Report of INTERPOL is a cause for concern regarding Artificial Intelligence Governance in Africa where AI has been statistically confirmed as the chief culprit linked to more than half of cybercrime cases witnessed in Africa.
At a landmark industry gathering, NetOne Group Chief Executive Officer delivered a visionary address outlining how the telecommunications giant is anchoring Zimbabwe’s transition into the Fourth Industrial Revolution through intelligent connectivity. Speaking to a distinguished audience—including the Minister of ICT, Postal and Courier Services, Hon. T. Mavetera, and industry leaders—the GCEO emphasized that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become the most transformative force of our time.
Mobile telephony was still in its infancy. Internet access was limited, and for many Zimbabweans, particularly those in rural communities, reliable communication remained beyond reach. It was in this environment that NetOne was established as Zimbabwe’s first mobile telecommunications operator, laying the foundation for what would become one of the country’s most significant digital transformation journeys.
As of January 21, 2026, the Egyptian landscape for mobile technology underwent a fundamental shift. The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA), in coordination with the Egyptian Customs Authority, has officially ended the long-standing one-phone customs exemption.
The Board, Management, and staff of NetOne Cellular (Private) Limited have officially extended their heartfelt congratulations to Group Chief Executive Officer, Eng. Raphael Mushanawani, following his prestigious induction into the 2026 National Business Hall of Fame.
In the modern era, a tourist’s journey doesn’t begin at an airport—it begins on a smartphone. Recognizing this digital shift, Zimbabwe’s telecommunications giant, NetOne, has stepped beyond the role of a traditional mobile operator to become the “digital backbone” of the nation’s tourism revival.
NetOne Group CEO emphasized that accountability and integrity are no longer just buzzwords but the “operating system” for Zimbabwe’s prosperity.
