Dingumuzi Phuti, Zimbabwe\u2019s Deputy Minister of ICT, Postal and Courier Services rallied Africa to support Dr Zavazava. Said the minister:<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s show our oneness as Africa to rally behind Dr Zavazava as his wealth of experience will definitely transform the continent\u2019s telecommunications space.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe\u2019s Ambassador to Rwanda, Dr Charity Manyeruke also urged Africa to support Dr Zavazava, who is also the SADC candidate. She said:<\/p>\n

Dr Zavazava has demonstrated his capabilities even at this current role and there is no doubt that he will be a shoe fit in that role. Therefore, let us not miss this opportunity by supporting him. His win is not for Zimbabwe, but for the continent of Africa.<\/p>\n

During the dinner, the Zimbabwean delegation also had a meeting with the ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao.<\/p>\n
