News Summary:
On July 3, 2026, Paratus Zimbabwe and Powertel Communications activated the initial phase of their cross-border fiber project, establishing a high-capacity digital corridor designed to connect Zimbabwe with Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, and Paratus' broader Southern African network. Earlier, on February 20, 2026, Innocent Mutimura was appointed Country Manager for Paratus Rwanda, bringing two decades of senior leadership experience from various East African ISPs and telecommunications companies. This followed Paratus' activation of a new 2000 km protected fiber route in East Africa on February 9, 2026, directly linking Mombasa, Kenya, to Goma in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and serving Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC. Previously, on December 9, 2025, Martin Cox, who joined the Group in 2021, continued to drive Paratus' expansion across Africa, instrumental in the "Paratus 500" rollout, which signified the company’s achievement in securing licenses and operations reaching 500 million people in sub-equatorial Africa. The Group initially launched "Paratus 500" on November 10, 2025, after expanding into seven additional African markets earlier that year, including Eswatini, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, thereby bolstering cross-border connectivity across 15 African countries south of the Equator.
