Matter of fact: ‘Renaming studio after Similo no scandal – NBC’

On 9 July, The Namibian published an article titled: ‘Renaming studio after Similo no scandal – NBC’. In the article, we reported that executive director of information and communication technology Audrin Mathe said: “I recommend that you approach the chairperson of the board on the same. You should also ask if the ministry has endorsed the renaming…We were not asked and did not.” In fact, Mathe said: “You also ask if the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology endorsed the renaming. That is one thing I do know for sure. And that is that we were not asked and did not.” We apologise for the error and regret any in- convenience caused.
