ZIMBABWEANS around the country have hailed Econet Wireless and Sasai Money Transfer’s recent initiative to scrap transfer fees on all remittances sent from to the United Kingdom (UK) and South Africa to Zimbabwe.
Econet Wireless, Zimbabwe’s largest telecommunications and technology company, achieved a first in Africa at the beginning of this month, by opening two free remittance corridors into Zimbabwe, eliminating costs for both sender and receiver.
Now, recipients of free money transfers from both the UK and South Africa have commended the initiative as “a lifeline” for citizens grappling with an impending drought.
