WINDHOEK, 29 MAY (NAMPA) - Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) has committed N.dollars 624.9 million in capital expenditure for the 2025/26 financial year to strengthen Namibia’s digital and telecommunications infrastructure.
In a media statement issued on Thursday, MTC said the investment was announced during the ICT High-Level Stakeholder Engagement held in Oshakati.
MTC’s Chief Brand, Marketing, Communications and Sustainability Officer, Tim Ekandjo, said the budget will fund key projects aimed at improving network performance, expanding connectivity, and enabling future-ready digital services across the country.
