Zimbabwean company Econet Wireless seeks to open a shop in Hillbrow Johannesburg with an intention to serve Zimbabwean clients living in South Africa.
Last year, Econet Wireless together with its South African counterpart, MVNO Econet Wireless South Africa, offered a ‘Call Home’ service with discounted rates on calls from South Africa to Zimbabwe. This partnership targeted specifically the needs of Zabwean and other African immigrants. Many Zimbabweans took its SIM cards out of national pride.”
