The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (nbc) celebrated three of its employees who walked away with awards at the prestigious Simply You Magazine Lifestyle and Fashion Awards on Saturday.

KATI FM's Salimi Gerhard and Touch FM's Donald Kariseb scooped the Best Female Radio Presenter Award and Best Male Radio Presenter of the Year Award, respectively.

Talk show host Josy Nghipandua, who presents Tupopyeni, walked away with the TV Personality of the Year Award.

nbc's Director General Stanley Similo commended the winners on their hard work, dedication, and passion before handing them a gift as a token of appreciation on behalf of the whole nbc team.

He added that they should continue to serve as guides, educators, and entertainers in every home they reach.

"The success of the three members that are here is because the team as it stands is what makes us great. We stand tall today having won, but that's because we have a team that will never fail us in terms of what we do."

Chief News and Programming Officer, Menesia Muinjo, beamed with pride and encouraged them to aim even higher. 

"This is really the performance of what we do. Sometimes we ourselves may undermine what we do and may not appreciate you. But when it is measured by somebody from outside, it really speaks louder. And it's also saying that it is not the end; we need to do more. That bar has to go up there."

The Simply You Magazine Lifestyle and Fashion Awards take place on an annual basis.
