Zimbabwe's ruling party plans to push for the development of public Wi-Fi access points around the country in the next months in order to bridge the digital divide and grow the digital economy.
This is one of the highlights of the resolutions presented by Ziyambi Ziyambi, secretary of legal affairs, at the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF)'s National People's Conference this weekend.
The 22nd session of the conference concluded in Mutare, an eastern town bordering Mozambique.
Ziyambi, reading out the resolutions, said in a related development, the party has resolved to remove the electronic, intermediated money transfer tax on transactions on the local currency, ZiG.
Citizens believe the current transfers of 2 percent for transactions up to US$100 or the equivalent in ZiG is steep.
ZANU-PF wants the maligned ZiG to be the sole currency, against the current system of multiple currencies after the collapse of the Zimbabwean dollar in 2007.
