The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) has appointed a new Board of Directors, with Elwis Nashilongo elevated from deputy chairperson to chairperson after being reappointed to the board.
Raundjua Hengari has been appointed vice chairperson, while Joze van Wyk has also been reappointed as a board member.
The new board is completed by Herman Walter Rutz, Elzine Mushambi, Nolan Swartz and Kavehuura Tjuma, who will oversee Namibia’s communications regulatory framework.
The appointments replace the board appointed in 2023 by then Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Dr Peya Mushelenga, which was chaired by Professor Tulimevava Mufeti.
The outgoing board also included Nashilongo, an executive at the Government Institutions Pension Fund, who served as deputy chairperson, as well as Florette Nakusera, Jeanine du Toit, Gerhard Coeln, Alletha Haufiku and Veiko Alexander.
CRAN is responsible for regulating Namibia’s information and communications technology sector, including telecommunications networks and services, broadcasting, postal services and the country’s radio frequency spectrum.
