MTC vows to ‘do more’ for Namibia

Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) reaffirmed its support for Namibia’s development while celebrating its 30th birthday on Monday.

The company said it plans to expand its contributions to the government’s national development agenda even further.

MTC managing director Licky Erastus said while the company’s achievements in the past decades are worth celebrating, its contributions are needed now more than ever.

“We have achieved significant social and economic progress in the past three decades, but the reality demands that we do more. It demands that we do not stop but rather reinvent and innovate to transform lives,” he said.

Erastus further assured the government of MTC’s full support.

“As we celebrate 30 years of bridging the digital gap and bringing world-class information and communication technology services to Namibians, we are cognisant that there is still much that needs to be done to improve the lives of all Namibians.

“Our assurance is that MTC will continue to put the communities and all Namibians first in every investment decision we make because we believe in long term sustainability and the well-being of our country and the environment.”

He highlighted education as an area that must be prioritised to “prepare a generation of innovators, a generation of servant leaders, a generation that will not tolerate corruption and a generation that will always look after the interest of all Namibians equally.”
