Econet Zimbabwe has taken an auspicious initiative in alleviating the incessant power shortages by coming up with a solar
gadget.
The Solar Wave Lantern SW15 which is aimed at promoting convenience in the telecommunications industry was launched
in Harare yesterday where a demonstration was made on how the solar gadget works.
Econet Chief Executive Officer Daniel
Mativenga said that lack of power supply is affecting their customers hence the development of SW15 solar lanterns with charging sockets for mobile phones and laptops complimented with an FM radio.
“The lack of reliable power supply has
been affecting our consumers considering how ZESA has been grappling with
financial constrains.
“Therefore we are launching theses
products to alleviate this problem,” Mativenga said.
Econet Wireless Zimbabwe launched 400
000 solar lanterns into the market which has managed to meet the demands of
more than 300 households in Harare with the inclusion of scholars.
Mativenga also said Econet has established Green Kiosks where there are free solar power charging circuits for mobile phones regardless of the network provider in use.
