President Robert Mugabe has said local business leaders should always strive to be employers, taking advantage of the revolution happening in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector.
“We do not want to be always employees, we also want to be employers, even better employers,” Mugabe said at the official opening of the Bindura Community Information Centre on Saturday.
The centre is the eighth to be officially opened by Mugabe following those in Masvingo, Manicaland, Matabeleland North,
Matabeleland South, Midlands, Mashonaland East and Murombedzi.
ICT, Postal and Courier Services minister Supa Mandiwanzira said the ministry was doing a lot in the ICT sector, urging the business community to take advantage of the revolution.
“The initiative to computerise our communities is also a huge opportunity for the business community. You were interacting with them on Thursday, and one of the most important things industry must do is to retool and this includes a very important component which is ICTs.
“The business community should see the opportunity on the work that we are doing through you President. These computers are imported, but they should be assembled in this country, the smart phones we are importing should be manufactured in this country. We are inviting the business community to see these opportunities,” he said.
