Joshua Maponga Criticises Masiyiwa Over Econet's "Poor Service"
Motivational speaker Joshua Maponga has criticised Zimbabwe’s richest man, Strive Masiyiwa, over “poor service” by his Econet Wireless.
Maponga said if Masiyiwa does not need the telecommunications business any longer and has made enough money, he must give it to younger brains.
Econet Wireless is the largest mobile telephone network, in Zimbabwe.
In a video clip, Maponga said Econet has become a big black cow that is eating grass in Africa and “you are busy milking it in Europe”. Maponga, a former Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA) pastor said:
It disturbs me to see people walking in the dark to go and make a phone call next to a fallen tree or anthill. Some have to climb kopjes and hills to get a signal yet you are there with the Rockefellers.

You are embarrassing us as a country that gave birth to you. People are giving you money every month but you’re treating us like trash. Respect the people. If you don’t need the business and have made enough money give the business away to some younger brains.
Context:
Econet subscribers have on several occasions complained over “poor network” and “very high” tariffs.
Econet blames poor networks on technical glitches, power cuts and fuel shortages.
Meanwhile, Strive Masiyiwa, the billionaire founder of Econet Wireless, stepped down from the telecommunications giant’s board of directors effective February 1, 2022.
He has been on the board since the inception of the company in 1998.
