Telecomms giant — NetOne — is targeting to build strong communities that can stand on their own and bring about sustainable economic growth.
In a speech read on his behalf by NetOne Matebeleland regional manager, Ms Elmah Dube at Hingwe community in Bulilima West Constituency recently, Group Chief Executive Officer, Engineer Raphael Mushanawani said they hope to increase its support in bringing about sustainable economic growth.
“As a company we are not divorced from the community or its programs. We have over the years supported different programs in the community that we operate from. We will continue doing the same or better still up our game to meet the ever changing socio-economic environment.
“The National Development strategy 1 (NDS1) gives us a clear vision as a corporate and what direction we should take. Furthermore our organisation subscribes to the government’s call towards vision 2030, as we pull to help develop sustainable community programs,” Eng Mushanawani said.
“Our CSI strategy covers the following area: health, education, care, empowerment only to mention a few.
“Today we are here at Hingwe to host a netball tournament and donations for the various areas that covers the NSD1. We have the following items that we would like to offer to the community: hospital beds, baby scales, BP machines, sanitary pads, wheelchairs.”
NetOne has so far donated equipment to Mbimba Clinic for the smooth run of a basic medical centre.
“We will continue to engage the community of Bulilima through various community based initiatives of this kind.
“We would also like thank Hon Dingimuzi Phuti who doubles as the MP for Bulilima West Constituency and the Deputy Minister of Deputy Minister of Information Communication Technology (ICT).
“Through his guidance our organisation has grown from strength to strength and we are able to offer support to different communities. Hon Deputy Minister, we would like to thank you for the support and also allowing us to host tournament in your constituency,” he said.
