The Zimbabwean government has completed the installation of a fiber-optic cable project linking the country to Mozambique in a bid to ensure fast and reliable Internet connectivity, according to The Zimbabwe Mail.
The installation of the fiber-optic cable linking Zimbabwe to an undersea cable at Beira, Mozambique, was completed two weeks ago at a cost of US$6,3 million.
Information Communication Technology Minister Mr. Nelson Chamisa said the project was wholly funded by the government, adding that another cable linking Beitbridge to an undersea optic cable in South Africa is expected to be completed at a cost of US$15 million.
"The government has completed the fiber-optic cable lining from Harare to Mozambique in a bid to improve connectivity in the country. US$ 15 million will be directed towards the setting up of the cable linking Beitbridge as ICTS are the backbone of national development," Chamisa said.
