It is jointly owned by Telecel International and Empowerment Corporation. Telecel Globe is a subsidiary of VimpelCom International Services B.V, a major international telecommunications company with interests in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The Empowerment Corporation is a Zimbabwean consortium made up of a number of Zimbabwean companies. Because of this partnership of local and foreign investors and access to training opportunities locally and at other Telecel companies, Telecel Zimbabwe is well placed to keep abreast of the latest technology available internationally and apply it effectively to local conditions. While, as a Zimbabwean company, it gives preference to local expertise in its recruitment policy, it is also able to make use, where necessary, of expertise from other Telecel Globe and VimpelCom subsidiaries.
