Sheer determination. The touching story of a young girl who lost an arm and a leg after accidentally stepping on a live electricity cable. She wrote her grade 7 exams while she was in hospital and spent 4 years at home. When the opportunity to go back to school again came, she did all that was in her power to attend school. Vellah, you are a champion.

The is clear in protecting citizens against violence committed online or using Information and Communication Technologies. Did you know that the Data Protection Act [Chapter 11:22] was enacted to increase data protection in order to build confidence and trust in the secure use of information and communication technologies by data controllers, their representatives, and data subjects.
Today let us look at Section 164 of the Data Protection Act:

Dear Potraz...
Greetings. I'm curious to know what is it that your organisation does. Moreover, if you do what you claim to do, help us customers from the poor service delivery we are suffering at the hands of Econet and Telecel. If there is no response to this then I guess those two are getting their cues from you.
Yours sincerely
