Telecoms guru Zavazava on verge of making history

Zimbabwean top telecommunications expert, Cosmas Zavazava, will make history today if he is elected as director for the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) at the Geneva-based International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

Zavazava’s candidature for the post was endorsed by countries in the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) in April and elections are due today in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, during this year’s ITU conference.

Addressing world ICT ministers and the plenipotentiary conference yesterday, ICT minister, Kazembe Kazembe said Zavazava was the best candidate to lead the BDT.
