Well I know most of you are going to say well there is a lot of taxes and duties paid but to chare double? Don't even come with rent or council license defense because the owners of the brand also had manufacturing costs (more on that later) We have seen this blueprint with Starlink kits and those who purrchased kits straight from Starlink know that to get your kit you just had to pay $23 more but the markups we are seeing from the retail market are just insane. Let's dive deep and shed some light on how e-commerce works and how to order products.2026-05-12 15:02:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/instagram-dms-are-no-longer-private-and-no-longer-have-end-to-end-encryption-meta-can-now-read-themMeta quietly removed end-to-end encryption from Instagram direct messages, a move that affects billions of users, reverses years of privacy promises, and raises urgent questions about who really owns your conversations. There was no announcement, no banner inside the app, no email to your inbox. On Thursday, May 8, 2026, Meta simply updated a help page on Instagram's website with a quiet notice: "End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram is no longer supported as of 8 May 2026." Just like that, a layer of protection that shielded your private conversations from everyone including Meta itself was gone. Essentially, from May 8 onward Instagram DMs will behave like most other social chat platforms: messages transit through Meta’s servers unencrypted, giving Meta and, by extension, law enforcement or other agencies, the ability to read them if needed.2026-05-04 16:03:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/the-ecocash-super-app-all-you-need-to-knowA few weeks ago Ecocash launched a Super App which intended to bundle all your spending and financial services in a single dashboard. It was a bold launch often characterising the whole Econet group approach which makes them the top digital services and technology brand, this new all-in-one digital ecosystem brings together payments, messaging, and lifestyle services under one roof. It is the first of its kind in Zimbabwe, and it signals a defining moment not just for EcoCash, but for how Africans interact with money and technology. I have used the App for a few weeks now and it's safe to say it actually delivers though there is the chat or messaging feature, well maybe it's getting the final touch ups. Well let's see what this Super App can do and why you should have it.2026-04-25 01:16:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/the-vercel-breach-are-we-getting-too-reliant-on-aiIn April, popular cloud hosting platform Vercel disclosed a security breach stemming from a compromised third-party AI tool called Context.ai. Attackers exploited a stolen OAuth token from Context.ai to take over a Vercel employee’s Google Workspace account. This granted the hacker access to Vercel’s internal systems and allowed them to enumerate “non-sensitive” environment variables (plain-text secrets) belonging to a limited set of customer projects. While Vercel’s encrypted secrets and core services (including Next.js, Turbopack, and its npm packages) were unaffected, exposed API keys and credentials forced affected customers to urgently rotate secrets and bolster security. The incident highlights the growing risk of supply-chain attacks via OAuth integrations: an attacker breached a small AI vendor, then “walked in” to hundreds of downstream targets by abusing broad permissions.2026-04-18 03:07:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/hackers-exploiting-unpatched-windows-security-flaws-what-businesses-and-individuals-need-to-knowIt's 2026 and it's the same old story, cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, and one of the biggest risks facing organizations and individuals today is the exploitation of unpatched software vulnerabilities. Recent reports indicate that hackers are actively abusing newly disclosed Windows security flaws to gain unauthorized access to organizations, highlighting once again how quickly attackers move when weaknesses become public. The incident has raised concerns across the technology world, especially because the vulnerabilities reportedly affect systems tied to Microsoft Windows and Windows Defender. For businesses, institutions, and everyday users, it is another reminder that delaying updates can create serious security consequences.2026-04-12 13:46:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/the-truth-behind-the-3-finger-test-how-to-expose-ai-deepfakesIn an era where seeing is no longer believing, deepfakes have emerged as one of the most disruptive technologies of the digital age. From viral videos to financial scams, artificial intelligence (AI) is now capable of creating hyper-realistic media that can deceive even the most careful observer. Among the many tips circulating online to detect these fakes, one method has gone viral: the “3 finger test.” But how reliable is it really? Let's first explore what deepfakes are, how they work, and whether simple tricks like the three finger test can truly distinguish what is real and what is fake.2026-04-06 02:31:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/amendment-bill-no-3-2026-inside-the-madness-all-you-need-to-knowA few months the country woke up to shocking news of proposed changes to the Zimbabwean constitution that would drastically change a lot of things, including taking away the power of people to vote for the President, extending term limits and a whole lot more. This bill proposes significant changes to how the country is governed especially how leaders are chosen, how long they stay in power, and how key institutions operate. Because these changes affect every citizen, it’s important to understand them in simple terms, this is not the time to stand by and do nothing and to be clear this should go to a referendum so that everyone has a say. So let’s dive in.2026-03-28 22:48:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/cookies-on-websites-what-they-really-are-and-why-they-matterFor a fact i know most users really don't read terms and conditions of services and systems they use, which sometimes leads to massive legal battles and people losing cases simply because they didn't the terms of use. Today we gonna discuss something equivalent, which people accepet without really knowing what it is and how it works. If you’ve spent any time online, you’ve probably seen those pop-ups asking you to “accept cookies.” Most people click “Accept” and move on without a second thought. But behind that simple button is something that plays a big role in how the internet works.So let’s slow it down a bit and talk about what cookies actually are, how they work, and what you, as a user, should genuinely care about.2026-02-26 15:38:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/what-is-going-on-with-ecocashWell if you ever transacted in the past few days, you would have noticed a very big unpleasant change to the charges Ecocash is now charging. Where are we really going as a nation, is it a lack of worthy competitors, or government policies causing all these unrealistic charges. Apparently to transact $5 the charges are now about $2 that’s a 40% charge on a single transaction, all this is a result of the Digital Service Tax (DST) on top of the government tax and the service provider charges as well. Lack of clarity on actual charges is what is causing this uproar and the reasons for these ureasonable hikes yet to be disclosed to us, where will this money go and what will it be used for. Let’s take a look at what is really happening so we may try to get handle on the current situation.2026-02-25 17:30:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/what-is-open-claw-a-fair-assessment-and-is-it-something-you-should-install-all-you-need-to-knowLaunched in November 2025 Open Claw was more familiar in tech circles but like a pandemic outbreak it has spread all over the world in every sector and chances are you have heard of it by now, so we are here to explain to you what it is it. Open claw is a self hosted AI assistant you run on your own machine or VPS powered by AI models like AI or anthropic using API keys. The reason Open Claw has been trending is because of its use for day to day tasks like replying your WhatsApp messages, emails, social media and basically everything in your devices while you do nothing, i know it sounds simple yet potentially a security risk so let me show you how it really works and how it’s different to mainstream AI models like Chat gpt and more.2026-02-10 16:46:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/government-orders-soundproofing-for-churches-bans-fuel-stations-in-residential-areasIf one thing has defined Zimbabwe, it's that people can start churches anywhere and no longer go to designated areas which has led to the emerging of churches in residential areas and some even contact evening services which is not a bad thing but a rather uncomfortable thing for those who live closeby and don't go to the same church. In a move to try and reduce noise and congestion in residential places, Government has ordered all churches operating in residential areas to install soundproofing and has imposed an immediate ban on the establishment of new fuel service stations in housing zones as part of a nationwide crackdown on urban disturbances.The Government has ordered all churches operating in residential areas to install soundproofing and has imposed an immediate ban on the establishment of new fuel service stations in housing zones as part of a nationwide crackdown on urban disturbances.2026-02-07 12:37:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/econet-investors-to-get-150-premium-in-split-value-exit-offer-so-does-it-all-really-workIn a rather unprecedented and rarely seen move in the Zimbabwe business world, Econet is planning to delist on the Zimbabwe stock exchange and the company also made a number of chages in it's business and structure with the splitting of it's operations nd introducing entities like Econet InfraCo. While some understand what it means other don't especially those who buy stock without having deeper comprehension of how it all really works, we are here to explain to you. So to address the elephant in the room and answer the most asked question, yes Econet will still be a public company after it delists and all the rules that affect public companies will still affect, for example getting shareholder approval for major decisions and so on. So what will happen to the shareholders and the country as a whole since Econet is one of the biggest companies i Zimbabwe. Let's get on into with it.2026-01-26 15:28:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/potraz-dismisses-claims-zimbabwe-has-enacted-a-cyber-crimes-act-all-you-need-to-knowSocial media has been flooded with reports that Zimbabwe has enacted a new cyber law to deal with the Cyber crime but POTRAZ has moved to dismiss those reports. The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) has moved to correct misinformation circulating online. Zimbabwe has not passed a separate law called a “Cyber Crimes Act.” Instead, cybercrime offences are handled through amendments to the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act changes introduced when the Cyber and Data Protection Act (2021) updated the Criminal Code. So actually what is the cybercrime act and how does it affect general citizens.2026-01-14 23:23:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/netone-introduces-reverse-calling-service-to-keep-zimbabweans-connected-without-airtimeThe coming of Starlink has undoubtedly been a blessing and a curse depending on which side you are on between telecoms operator and general users. It has force local Inter Service Providers (ISPs) like Econet, Netone and Telone to re-calibrate and change to adapt to the new competition in the form of Starlink which is great news for general users. Lately Netone has also introduce a new service known as Reverse Calling (Pay for Me), a feature that allows subscribers to make voice calls even when they have no airtime, with the call cost transferred to the recipient once they accept the call. It’s no secret every major player is trying to innovate to keep hold of it’s customers so let’s dive deep and understand what this technology really is.2026-01-12 16:41:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/chiefs-are-custodians-not-owners-of-the-land-land-tenure-in-zimbabwe-ownership-custodians-and-lawZimbabwe’s land is managed under a complex mix of constitutional provisions, statutes, and customary practice. The 2013 Constitution and various Acts of Parliament define three main categories of land tenure – freehold (private), leasehold (state-resettlement), and communal – and set rules for each. Importantly, communal land (former tribal trust land) is vested in the President, but used by rural communities under customary law. Chiefs and village heads may administer communal land locally, but they do not personally own it but the problem to this system is that most chiefs don't have the full grasp of the law as recently witnessed in the Chief Murinye incident, where he blocked the road to stop parents going for opening day demanding some kind of payment for the Riverton school built in his area.2025-12-31 06:45:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/aviator-game-explained-don-t-just-play-learn-the-technology-behind-it-fairness-and-how-it-really-worksSince its launch in 2019, Aviator has quietly reshaped online casino gaming.

We are going break down how Aviator works behind the scenes, it's technology, why it feels so engaging, the controversies it has faced, and what it's success says about the future of betting.2025-12-19 20:53:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/econet-zimbabwe-plans-to-delist-plans-infrastructure-unit-listingIn a rather unprecedented move, Econet is planning a shocker, though the move is common offer seas on the some of the biggest exchanges in the world locally it's a rather unsual move. Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Ltd. will voluntarily delist from the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, citing a persistent valuation discount to regional peers. Econet has advised shareholders and the investing public to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s securities until further announcements are made regarding the delisting process and related transactions. So what does this really mean for stakeholders?2025-12-14 23:30:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/fake-leonardo-dicaprio-movie-torrent-injecting-malware-globally-you-need-to-watch-out-for-malicious-torrentsTorrents have been a step up and a new efficient way of downloading files on the internet. A torrent is a file-sharing method that uses the BitTorrent protocol, a decentralized system where users share file pieces directly with each other, rather than downloading from a single central server. This method is highly efficient for distributing large files because it reduces the load on the original distributor and improves download speeds as more people share the file. Recntly there has been a torrent spreading malware across the internet through movie downloads. So let's dive deep into how a torrent works, how exactly this malware is spreading and what to do if you are already affected.2025-12-13 17:54:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/zimbabwe-bans-foreigners-from-certain-businesses-and-reserve-sectors-for-locals-all-you-need-to-knowAs we close the year, 2025 has been a year filled with a lot happening in all aspects of our lives from social to businesses.

Just in case you didn’t know, it was drawn that way to be easily used for navigation particularly in the sea so generally some of the countries were distorted and their sizes magnified or reduced in size. For example Africa seems like a small continent but the truth is USA, China, South America and most of western Europe can fit into Africa and still leave some space. Relevant African bodies are pushing for the correction of this centuries old misinformation and introduce a map that truly reflect the true sizes of continents and countries.

Some giants like Econet were forced to innovate, coming up with SmartBiz to counter the StarLink threat. While StarLink monthly pricing is cheap, well there Kit to get started has a steep price tag which most Zimbabweans can’t afford in one go, that’s why most Zimbabweans have failed to crossover.

With the instability of our economy, well things don’t go according to plan, you may have the money to buy the stand but you may soon realise you don't earn enough to build a house and the law doesn’t permit resale of undeveloped stands unless you are a licensed developer. If you don’t develop for a certain period your land gets taken without compensation, let’s delve in to what really goes on.2025-07-25 20:21:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/the-new-deed-registries-regulations-2025-si-76-of-2025-how-to-validate-your-title-deedsWhile Zimbabwe might have been slow in embracing the current technology, it’s evident the digital platforms are here to stay and lately we have been trying to keep up. Last year we saw the introduction of electronic case management system for courts then followed by the more recent Border Management System with the latter greatly reducing waiting times on airports and borders. Now it seems a new sector is going to see this digital transformation. In this piece we are going to take a closer look into Validation of Title Deeds Under the New Deed Registries Regulations, 2025 (SI 76 of 2025). It was long overdue but better late than never right?, Zimbabwe has now introduced digital title deeds under new 2025 property law. So how does this really work.2025-07-21 10:43:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/fake-h-metro-reporters-on-the-rise-beware-of-being-blackmailed-what-to-knowScams have come in many forms or shape in Zimbabwe, from the infamous E-Creator pyramid scheme that duped millions of their hard earned cash to Metamax and more. There is always a new thing on the block so it’s always advisable to be vigilant and stay up-to date with the latest. Recently a new scam has taken Harare by storm with con artists masquerading as H-Metro journalists and blackmailing people which included a legislator - demanding payments to ensure they don’t publish sensational stories of those targeted individuals. Organised crime is not a new thing but it has evolved in recent times. This new group seems to be targeting influential individuals but no one is off limits for them so how exactly are they doing it.2025-07-19 09:42:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/are-you-a-windows-pc-user-don-t-update-your-pc-at-least-for-nowThe infamous CrowdStrike fiasco which caused millions of computers worldwide to crash is still fresh on our minds, so we might be forgiven for being skeptical since we depend on our PCs for work, entertainment and other purposes as well. The latest issue was from Microsoft itself with Microsoft confirming the mistake before stating it had been fixed only to find out that the supposed update to fix the issue hadn’t. Although the latest bug is not like the CrowdStrike issue, let me just say this if you have important documents back them up now just to stay on the safe side. Microsoft apologized for any inconvenience or confusion after mistakenly claiming an awkward Windows update issue had been fixed. Well newsflash, It hadn’t been fixed and has now gotten worse.2025-07-16 15:14:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/satellite-connectivity-in-smartphones-everything-you-need-to-knowBy now it’s safe to say StarLink has disrupted the markets sending ISPs into panic mode, much to the delight of internet users in every country it has been introduced to. From offering fast internet with cheaper subscription plans albeit a bit higher cost for equipment but frankly that will even out with time when you compare the data costs. Now re-imagine that StatLink technology but this time without the need for the kit, now some Smartphones can now connect directly with satellites with T-Mobile leading the charge. Now that direct-to-cell technology has graced us could this signal the end of traditional telecommunications companies? With carriers constantly updating their satellite phone plans, here's all you need to know about satellite connectivity in Smartphones phones, whether your phone has it and what "satellite optimized" means.2025-07-10 09:14:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/ecocash-launches-a-new-wallet-for-smes-informal-sector-tradersFor the past few years, EcoCash has been introducing new wallets to cope with the times and market demands from introducing USD wallets, merchants, diaspora wallets to even virtual cards.

Up until now all these procedures were not really available in plain sight for everyone to understand. There is a lot of fees involved in buying a car, it doesn’t end when you purchase the vehicle, there duty, licenses, and more. So what if you bought a car from someone else, well in this case you have to change ownership of the vehicle to legally complete the sale or purchase.

Political instability, policy changes and currency volatility have been all major factors contributing to loss of trust in the banking system with all these issues greatly affecting our currency and economic landscape. Most people are skeptical of banking their because of these inconsistencies and loss of trust in the system. So what we are going to look at what exactly happens to customers when a bank closes in Zimbabwe for whatever reason and we will be looking at how previous failed banks were handled.2025-06-15 22:38:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/econet-faces-major-network-challenges-here-is-all-you-need-you-know-1By now it’s common knowledge that electricity has been a major problem in Zimbabwe. In recent times the problem seems to be getting worse with no end in sight, Zimbabweans have now resorted to alternative solutions for electricity generation with solar being top of the list. Solar energy is gaining popularity as a renewable power source for homes and businesses worldwide but it is gaining different kind of traction in Zimbabwe as Zesa becomes more and more unreliable. At the heart of this technology are solar panels, which come in four distinct varieties, each with unique characteristics and applications so take a minute to learn exactly which type you should buy so you make an informed decision.2025-06-14 18:23:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/econet-faces-major-network-challenges-here-is-all-you-need-you-knowNetwork disruptions have always been normal as maintenance and system upgrades have been done occasionally.

The success of any retail or service business depends heavily on how fast, accurate, and efficient its operations are. At the heart of this efficiency is a powerful POS system, not just for processing payments, but for streamlining the entire customer journey. A modern point of sale system goes far beyond basic billing. It can manage inventory, track sales, handle customer loyalty, generate reports, and even support multi-location setups. The difference between a good system and a great one often comes down to its features. This guide explores why POS features matter, how they impact your business performance, and what to consider when selecting the right POS solution.2025-06-01 14:13:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/whatsapp-vs-nso-group-spywareA lengthy battle between WhatsApp and NSO Group Spyware maker was concluded when the jury ordered the infamous spyware maker to pay more than $167 million in damages to the Meta-owned company which brought about the conclusion of a legal battle spanning more than five years, which started in October 2019 when WhatsApp accused NSO Group of hacking more than 1,400 of its users by taking advantage of a vulnerability in the chat app’s audio-calling functionality. While the battle was between WhatsApp and the NSO group, a lot of things came to light that concerns users of the messaging app from Meta.

Passwords have been for decades an entry point for hackers. Whether it’s from initial access malware looking to open up networks for ransomware attacks, public databases containing hundreds of millions of stolen plaintext credentials, or state-sponsored threat actors with spying on their minds. Nobody can say they are unaware of the dangers of weak or reused passwords, but what about your PIN code?

Zesa Holdings through it’s subsidiaries , the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) and the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), has been the only licensed company. To say that they haven’t been delivering is an understatement, with Zimbabweans plunged into darkness and in most severe cases going 18 to 21 hours without electricity a few years back when the situation reached a critical point but all this is soon to change as private entities in Zimbabwe be licensed to generate, distribute, and transmit electricity across the country to tackle this crisis. This trend of licensing private players has been spreading in different industries in Zimbabwe and it’s safe to say it’s working one notable sector as we mentioned in previous articles is the telecommunications sector. But it’s not all good news though…2025-05-19 19:52:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/what-is-tagtel-a-close-look-at-zimbabwe-s-new-internet-providerThe inevitable arrival of Starlink brought about drastic changes to the Zimbabwe telecommunications industry and the Zimbabwean internet landscape as a whole, much to the delight of consumers because more competition means more options and less prices. While the introduction of Starlink garnered significant attention, another development has been quietly unfolding: the emergence of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). Zimbabwe has been licensing more private entities from energy to telecommunications, Among these, Tagtel Communications has positioned itself as a popular contender by providing more affordable alternatives.

For the last few days i have been seeing several outlets in Harare and online claiming refurbished PCs to be brand new and the sad thing is almost 80% of Zimbabwean consumers don’t know the difference.

The big and small players have all invested in AI because well it’s here to stay and will soon be used in almost every aspect of our lives. Meta, Google and others have a dilemma. They need to stitch AI through their platforms, but users are understandably worried this is a privacy issue given some of these platforms main selling point is the secrecy in their end to end encryption features which guarantee absolute privacy and security. Google has been leading the charge, but has been careful to emphasize opt outs at all times. Meta has taken a different approach with WhatsApp. AI is there. You can’t remove it. But if you don’t like it, then just don’t use it. Cue the backlash.

A report by mobile industry analyst GSMA Intelligence says that the monetization of satellite services may hinge on whether mobile operators decide to charge for them, with a mixture of approaches already evident. Operators are already mulling whether to price tech into subs, says report, which notes Musk's Starlink satellite dominance. For clarification we're talking about satellite connectivity with unmodified, standard smartphones, for when you're out of cellular range or service, not dedicated sat-phones that have been around for some time now.2025-04-22 04:46:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/zitf-2025-what-to-expect-at-this-year-s-eventSimilarly, in purpose context with Apple’s world wide developer conference, Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF), held annually in Bulawayo, the country’s second-largest city, has long been a significant event in the southern African region consistently drawing attention from businesses and investors across the region and beyond. This year, the annual business showcase, one of the country’s largest trade events, is running from April 21 to April 26, 2025, under the theme “Industrialisation: Crafting an Integrated Landscape.” Dubbed the Blue Sapphire Edition, this year’s theme underscores the role of industrialisation in fostering economic transformation, investment and regional integration. It seeks to attract investors, open doors for entrepreneurs and businesses, both experienced and those new to the field.

Entrepreneurs who fail to integrate AI into their operations risk obsolescence, as AI-powered competitors launch faster, optimize better, and deliver superior customer experiences. Despite this progress, the real opportunity lies in moving past AI as a mere productivity tool. How would you imagine a zero-human company? AI agents orchestrate other agents that use either groups of agents or specific tools to do their own specialized tasks. Is this possible today? There’s no doubt we’ll find out soon, but either way, the stage is set for it to happen.2025-04-13 10:45:00https://www.perusee.com/blog/zimbabwe-plans-to-register-all-mobile-phone-handsetsZimbabwe is planning a daring move to trace every mobile handset in the fight against cybercrime (allegedly). Zimbabwe’s telecommunications regulator is pushing for the creation of a nationwide database that can track and block stolen or illegal mobile phones in a move officials say will help combat rising cybercrime and protect digital financial transactions. But the big question is will it be the only reason of tracking the devices. When government tries to roll out such things we can’t help it but think of China and North Korea. Usually these always end up being misused by unlawfully tracking citizens or even censoring what is shared, effectively shutting down free speech and suppressing human rights. On the surface it would really useful in combating crime but we all know that, it will not be it’s only function.

Some institutions have even rolled out programs to prepare students for a world undergoing one of the most significant transformations in history. The fact that AI still struggles with some tasks makes people feel superior to it, but the real question is not what AI can or cannot do today; it’s the pace at which it is learning and improving.

We have seen this subtly done by Econet, Telone and Netone but to really understand this concept take a look a closer look at StarLink, they openly do it and they actually explain the concept explicitly in the data plans. Well even WiFi connections also do this kind of thing, that’s why you see sometimes your internet speed is insanely fast but sometimes it’s very slow but on the same plan. This prioritization is often given to subscribers paying more but what if i tell you that you can get more speed out of your current internet plan and equipment by optimizing your setup.

With the introduction of the iPhone 14 series in 2022, Apple brought satellite communication to smartphones, allowing users to connect with emergency services via SOS messages even in areas without cellular coverage. Other smartphone brands, including Google and Samsung, followed, but the technology remained a niche feature available only in select regions and on a limited number of smartphone models but fast forward to 2025 it’s a changed game with it now calls and texts made available not just emergency SOS and more breakthroughs expected later this year.
