Telecel to appear before Zimbabwe Parliament

THE Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Youth, Indigenisation and Economic empowerment has summoned Telecel Zimbabwe to appear before Parliament and brief legislators on its plans to comply with the Indigenisation and Empowerment Act.

Telecel is embroiled in a serious tussle with the government that saw the cancellation of its operating licence by the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe.

The High Court has, however, given Telecel a temporary reprieve to allow the company to engage the Information Communication Technology minister Supa Mandiwanzira over the issue.

The committee chaired by Gokwe-Nembudziya MP Justice Mayor Wadyajena said the company had been summoned to appear before Parliament today.
