THE country’s largest mobile service provider, Econet Wireless has expanded its presence and operations in Chipinge following the official opening of an outlet where customers will access an assortment of services and gadgets under one roof.
The company, which has been operating a mobile shop in the past with clients waiting in the open to access service, has relocated to the NSSA complex, where it offers cell-phones, connectivity, banking and home security gadgets under the same roof.

Speaking at the same event the assistant district administrator Mr Teddius Beto said the district was impressed by the confidence shown by the company to invest in Chipinge.
“Chipinge as district welcomes the gesture by Econet and for us this signifies confidence by the corporate world. Our two local authorities have embraced the concept of ease of doing business being advanced by Government and we urge other big companies to emulate Econet and invest in Chipinge,” said Mr Beto.
“We are told that Econet intends to expand its operations in the district by constructing a new shop at Checheche Growth Point. This is a clear testimony that we are indeed developing as a district,” he added.
