“Chief executive officers must move from lackluster ways of doing things and move with the times to make their businesses prosper,” Mlambo said.
He concurred with several guest present during the discussions that in the modern world, internet was a human right that should be accessible to all.

ZOL Zimbabwe chief executive officer Denny Marandure said internet was a basic human right that should be available and accessible to all across the globe.
