            August Highlights 
            This month we featured one amazing young Zimbabwean who got to meet the most powerful woman in the world- Condoleezza Rice. 

            We also looked at how leading web design companies like Cyberplex Africa and Webdev have taken up a new web design methodology. 

            A particularly interesting article was one on how forex dealers in Harare are making use of the Internet to hike their profits. 

            Oh yes- and our feature article about the growth of Internet users in Zimbabwe. 1.4 million the new figure is. We explore how this relates to growth in the rest of Africa and ask just how accurate this data is.

            Read the report for more.
