Anesu Masvaure, the Author of the famous book “Hearing the Voice of God” who is leading mobile telephone giant NetOne’s Executive Personal Assistant of the Group Chief Executive Officer, Engineer Raphael Mushanawani was last night at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, honoured with the Comesa Federation of Women in Business (COMFWB) Business Women Excellence Awards, together with Mrs. Chipo Shamuyashe, an engineer at the same institution.
Ms. Anesu Masvaure was recognized for her outstanding contributions to the Telecommunications sector, and Mrs. Chipo Shamuyashe for her excellence in Engineering within the Telecommunications sector.
“These awards celebrate and acknowledge the Milestones and achievements of several women across all spheres of life, including sectors such as banking, beauty, entrepreneurship, and design. Congratulations to both ladies on their well-deserved recognition,” said Engineer Raphael Mushanawani, the NetOne Group CEO.
Awarding women in the telecommunications industry in Zimbabwe promotes gender equality and fosters an inclusive industry culture by celebrating women’s achievements.
“I feel like a role model positioned to inspire young girls and women to pursue careers in telecommunications. This sector is traditionally perceived as a preserve for men and this award breaks stereotypes and challenges traditional gender roles and biases. It also inspires me and other women to work on professional growth and enhance career advancement opportunities for women,” Masvaure said upon receiving the prestigious award.
Her counterpart, Engineer Shamuyashe, said there is a need to encourage women to join the telecommunication sector and remain in the industry, thus reducing turnover.
By recognizing and celebrating women’s achievements in Zimbabwe’s telecommunications industry, COMFWB seeks to promote gender equality and diversity; empower women to pursue leadership roles; drive industry growth and innovation; and inspire future generations to join the sector.
