Deputy Minister Phuti read remarks by his boss whilst attending the awards ceremony of young innovators at the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) 2024 hackathon held in Masvingo this week.
“Furthermore, environmental considerations are becoming paramount, as the logistics sector must adapt to minimise its carbon footprint while meeting the growing demand for parcel deliveries,” read Deputy Minister Phuti on behalf of his boss.
Zimbabwe President Mnangagwa is on record saying the prioritisation of the digital economy and the emerging importance of technology in “our day-to-day activities requires the Government to lead from the front in providing an environment where investment in technology is promoted”.
The President’s call augr’s well with the sustainability thrust that his postal and courier services Minister revealed.
“This dual focus on efficiency and sustainability will likely drive innovations in Zimbabwe’s postal services, positioning them to better serve consumers in a rapidly changing market,” she added.
