ECONET Wireless Zimbabwe is to extend its footprint into South Africa, with plans to open a new shop in Johannesburg to serve its Zimbabwean clients, BusinessDay reported.
Econet's first shop in South Africa will be in Hillbrow and is intended to cash in on the success of its call-home facility, which allows Zimbabweans in South Africa to call back home at discounted rates.
Calls home to Zimbabwe are pegged at R2.25 per minute off-peak and R2.85 per minute during peak times.
An Econet official in Harare on Tuesday said South Africa was a natural choice for expansion, given the "large market" of Zimbabweans living in South Africa that the company would be able to tap into.
