The Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Dr. Peya Mushelenga, has announced a three-month extension to the deadline for mobile phone SIM card registrations.

Subscribers have until March 31st, 2024, to get this done.

To date, 1.4 million subscribers have registered their SIM cards, translating to 62.5%.

The extension gives the remaining 38 percent time to do so.

In announcing the extension, the ICT Minister implored Namibians not to wait until the 11th hour.

Earlier this week, Dr. Mushelenga visited numerous mobile homes in the Oshana and Ohangwena regions, where long queues have become the order of the day.
