Liquid Telecom Zimbabwe, part of the leading pan-African telecoms group Liquid Telecom, today announced that thousands of its enterprise customers would automatically benefit from enhanced internet connectivity across the company’s fibre network.
Starting this March, and for an initial period of six months, many enterprises will benefit from increased internet bandwidth with speeds of up to fifty per cent faster and without any additional costs. This CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiative by Liquid Telecom, is a much-needed boost for enterprises and comes at a time when Zimbabweans are experiencing further challenges due to the growing economic crisis.
“Liquid Telecom is playing a vital role supporting businesses and the customers they serve with faster, higher capacity internet without additional expense. As a result, many organisations across Zimbabwe should be in a stronger position to maintain service delivery. This is likely to include fewer disruptions relating to online shopping and banking, maintaining day-to-day business operations with cloud-based services and supporting critical services including telemedicine and digital e-health solutions.” Said Wellington Makamure, Regional CEO, Liquid Telecom Southern Africa Region.
Corporate Social Responsibility continues to be a key priority for Liquid Telecom, and this offer follows the successful roll-out of ‘Edu-zones’, a corporate social responsibility initiative, under which free internet access has been provided to thousands of students through free Wi-Fi at over 48 tertiary institutions across the country. The latest CSR initiatives by Liquid Telecom Zimbabwe firmly cements the company’s position as an enabler in the Zimbabwean economy.
