Peoples Tablet the two gadgets are affordable.
The People’s Phone has a 4,0 inch HD screen, dual sim, 3,2 MP rear camera, 3G, GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, micro SD card and Android 4.0 (Ice-cream Sandwich) while the 7,3 G People’s Tablet also has similar systems.

Micor Star business development director Mr Taurai Majoni said the company had been given authority by Zanu-PF to market the smart phones and tablets.

“Our aim is to create employment and empower the youths as well as to ensure that everyone in urban and rural areas have access to ICT’s,” said Mr Majoni.
Mr Majoni said the phones and tablets have become a hit and their stock had already sold out.

“We are currently out of stock, but we are expecting more by next week to be delivered at all Zanu-PF district and provincial offices.
