Econet introduces Zimbabwean scholarship fund
Econet, Zimbabwe's largest mobile service network provider, has established a pan-African scholarship fund for academically gifted Zimbabweans to pursue high tertiary studies.
The Joshua Nkomo Scholarship Fund (JNSF), named after one of the Southern African country's founding fathers, has been created to support education at local secondary schools and universities.
Econet founder, Strive Masiyiwa, said the initiative was in honour of the late former vice president. Joshua Nkomo was also instrumental in supporting the creation of Econet.
