i think this is a great initiative that the ministry of ict is taking in talking about the issues that have an impact on zimbabwe and africa as a whole regarding information technology. what it should do now is act, put the discussions into motion, promote e-governance, cloud compute, campaign for ict acceptance to all the age group, business sectors. Walk the talk.
