Zimbabwe’s government said it was reviewing and cutting regulatory and municipal levies affecting the telecommunications sector. This followed concerns from operators over high cost drivers for data and voice services. ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera said reduced fees would lower operating costs and support more competitive tariffs once new regulations were gazetted. The measures formed part of a broader digital transformation strategy to improve affordability, expand connectivity, and support sector sustainability.
