Mobile Telecommunications Company (MTC) has announced a sponsorship of  N$1-million to the popular Windhoek youth event, Kasi Vibe festival for the next 3 years.

The life of the late Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) board Chairperson Theo Mberirua was honoured at a memorial service at the MTC headquarters on Thursday evening. 

Mberirua died last week Thursday after a short illness. He was aged 63. 

The Office of Judiciary and Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the migration of the Judiciary's data systems' physical premises to cloud services.

The agreement is expected to improve service delivery and modernise the justice system.

Residents of Divundu and surrounding areas in the Kavango East Region will now be able to access mobile communication services after MTC opened a mobile home in the town. 

Before the introduction of the new mobile home, locals had to travel 200 kilometres to the nearest facility in Rundu. 

The stage was set for the Namibian Correctional Service (NCS), who have been crowned champions for the third consecutive year in the MTC Netball Namibia Premier League after defeating NAMPOL by 44 to 37 points.

MTC intends to continue as a catalyst for sustained growth in Namibia's creative industry. 

This is after another commitment of N$250,000 to the Simply You Magazine Lifestyle and Fashion Awards (SYMLAFA). 

MTC has committed an investment of N$4.5 million in the Content Creator Awards over the next three years. 

The announcement was made during the nomination event held at the National Theatre of Namibia. 

Hundreds turned up for the tribute and memorial concert for the late legendary musician, Ras Sheehama, organised by MTC, Nascam, and the Ndilimani Cultural Troupe at the Zoo Park Amphitheatre. 

Information and Communication Technology Minister Emma Theofelus says the government will continue to collaborate with private entities to ensure that underserved communities have access to services.

Some residents of Katima Mulilo have expressed their dismay at the sudden price hike of the MTC recharge vouchers they buy from street vendors.

They complain that the N$5 recharge voucher now sells for N$6, while N$10 recharge vouchers are now purchased at N$12.
