There are still parts of Namibia without access to telecommunication networks. 

Mupini village, in the Kavango West Region, is one of the areas earmarked for the construction of a telecommunications tower. 

Telecom Namibia (TN) on Monday deactivated 191,598 unregistered prepaid Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards in a move to comply with regulations set by the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN).

1.6 million SIM cards have been registered across the country as of last month. 

Individuals who have not yet registered their cards are given a 15-day window to do so.

Cable theft has caused Telecom Namibia service interruptions since last night, which affected internet and voice services.

The affected areas were Hochland Park, Khomasdal, the Western Business Area in Katima Mulilo, and Veddersdal in Okahandja.

Telecom Namibia, as a key stakeholder, intends to meet the National Development Plans and Sustainable Development Goals through its just launched integrated Strategic Business Plan.

This was revealed by TN CEO, Dr. Stanley Shanapinda, at an engagement with the media.

Telecom Namibia has been nominated to host this year's 43rd Southern Africa Telecommunications Association (SATA) annual conference from April 26–28 in Swakopmund.

The conference is hosted on a rotational basis.
