The company lacks significant secondary coverage as required under WP:GNG and also lacks WP:CORPDEPTH. No significant secondary-source coverage could be found in a search. Additionally I have doubts about the claims under the "awards" section: the company is said to have won Microsoft Developer Partner of the Year in 2008 and 2009 and was a runner-up in another category those same years. This listing of 2008 winners from Microsoft makes no mention of the company. I could be looking at the wrong set of awards, but I think this still fails the normal notability test.

Delete - After an extensive search with both Google News Zimbabwe and US and searching with terms "Zimbabwe", "2007" and "company", I found one but minor result. However, when I started searching with "1st Runner-Up ICT Company of the Year 2011", I found this and this which also supports the "Top Web Developer of the Year" claim. At the second link, one of the comments by a "Mukuru Mukuru" (obviously affiliated with the company) claims the company won "Microsoft Developer Partner of the Year 2008/2009" but, of course, citing a user's comment would be unreliable. Aside from the two links I found above, the other information seems to be supported by the company's claims therefore primary. It is possible that additional sources may not be English, but I doubt it, African countries and companies will use English to conduct business, especially with technology.
