MTN Zambia has made a significant contribution to the University of Zambia by donating its newly launched “Ka Konek” internet Minifi devices. The “Ka Konek” is a portable device that transforms any gadget into a 4G internet hub, providing high-speed internet connectivity without the need for an external power supply. By simply plugging the device into a phone, laptop, or even a vehicle’s USB port, users can access reliable 4G internet, making it an ideal solution for students seeking enhanced digital learning experiences.
This donation aligns with MTN’s broader strategy of offering digital solutions that drive Africa’s progress. The company’s commitment to ensuring that everyone can benefit from a modern, connected life was emphasized during the presentation of 50 “Ka Konek” devices to the university’s administration on Friday, 6th September. The event was marked by the attendance of Professor Mundia Muya, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Zambia, who expressed deep gratitude for the donation. He highlighted the importance of reliable and cost-effective internet access for students in today’s digitally driven world, noting that such resources are vital to their academic success.
At MTN Zambia, we believe everyone deserves the benefits of a modern, connected life. By providing these essential resources, we aim to turn every ‘can’t’ into a ‘can’ for all students, ensuring that no barrier stands in the way of their educational and personal growth.
