VP Chiwenga to commission cellular booster in Binga

VICE President Dr Constantino Chiwenga is expected to commission a mobile network booster in Binga on Saturday, in a development expected to open up the district to investment.

There is limited access to many services in Binga while mobile and road network is a challenge.

The district relies on radio from neighbouring Zambia, thereby exposing the community to anti-government propaganda. Since independence Government has been working on improving citizens’ access to services hence people in many areas are now accessing Government services online.

A broadcasting transmitter is being constructed near Manjolo Business centre to increase the district’s access to radio and TV while roll-out of mobile phone base stations will also improve the communities’ access to information.

On Saturday VP Chiwenga will commission a booster constructed by NetOne in Sianzyundu area. Matabeleland North Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Richard Moyo said the whole province is poised for greater heights with various development projects being undertaken by the Second Republic and its development partners.

“The VP will commission a NetOne booster on Saturday and we are excited as a province because this puts us on the radar. This will go a long way in enhancing development in our province as all programmes will now be easy to manage even without driving to the site as we can link up with officers on the ground,” said Minister Moyo.
