The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology announced that this year's Independence Day celebrations will be held at Katima Mulilo.

The day marks the country's 34th independence anniversary.

All Namibians are invited to Katima Mulilo to celebrate the day that paved the way for Namibia's freedom.

The Executive Director of the Ministry, Dr. Audrin Mathe, announced in a statement that the Zambezi Region was chosen to host this year's Independence Day celebrations. 

The key to Namibians creating their own jobs and filling the employment gap themselves may lie in digital transformation. 

This was the message by Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology Emma Theofelus, who addressed a workshop on digital transformation in the country, aimed at sharing information and best practices on e-governance,  

Namibia's Deputy Minister for Information & Communication Technology highlighted a lack of infrastructure and access to finance as among the biggest challenges facing digital start-ups and ICT entrepreneurs. 

The more than 40 thousand learners who did not qualify for admission to higher education institutions this year could contribute to the high unemployment rate.
 
The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology's Executive Director now wants stakeholders to address these challenges in order to pave the way for future generations.

The 2022 African Media Barometer(AMB) Namibia Report has found that there is a level of solidarity in the news reported in the local media and that the national broadcaster, the Namibia Broadcasting Corporation, is displaying a level of editorial independence.

However, increased instances of harassment of journalists and civil society by the state are a growing concern.

Namibia continues to uphold its reputation as the beacon of media freedom in Africa.

Today, Namibia experienced interruptions to the .na domain for both private and public networks. 

The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) in a media statement said it is aware that Namibia has been under constant attack from hackers worldwide, but this glitch is not one of them.

Dr Audrin Mathe, the ministry's Executive Director, stated that all routine upgrades on the Domain Name System server for the .na domain had been completed by lunchtime today.
