The Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Modestus Amutse, has urged the staff members of the ministry to ensure that their services and work have a tangible impact throughout the country, including at the grassroots level.

 Amutse made these remarks while addressing the staff members of Oshana Region.

Mobile Telecommunications Company (MTC) is hopeful that the rollout of 5G technology in Namibia will unlock untapped values that lie within the country's digital infrastructure.

This, it says, will also result in a significant milestone for the economy and its people's livelihood. 

MTC held the first public 5G technology trail demonstration, the fifth generation of wireless connectivity, which allows for faster and more powerful connectivity that supports high-tech machines. 

The extension of SIM card registration has resulted in a decline in individuals' queuing up to register their numbers at mobile homes.

The deadline initially set for December 31, 2023, saw long queues as people rushed at the last minute to register their SIM cards.

However, since the announcement of the extension by the Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Dr. Peya Mushelenga, to March 31st, the once-flooded mobile homes are now literally empty.

At some stations, employees could be observed eagerly waiting for the next customer.

The Minister of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Dr. Peya Mushelenga, has called for national unity to achieve prosperity for all.

He made the call at the launch of ||Kharas Regional Activation of National Symbols Campaign at Oranjemund.

The National Symbols Campaign, which is part of the Nationhood and National Pride Programme, aims to enhance patriotism by educating Namibians on the importance of national symbols.

These national symbols include the national flag, the national coat of arms, presidential standards, and the national anthem.

The Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Emma Theofelus, has reiterated that national symbols hold significance beyond being mere emblems, but serve as visual representations of Namibia's shared identity. 

Launching the National Symbols Campaign in the Zambezi Region, Theofelus stated that national symbols effectively convey fundamental aspects, including values, history, and aspirations, that define a nation.

She encouraged the youth to embrace and attain a thorough comprehension of Namibian national symbols.
