Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) has invested N$5.7 million in tertiary education support since the launch of its bursary programme, with the company allocating a further N$1.5 million for the 2025/26 financial year.
The latest funding will support six Namibian students pursuing studies in Accounting, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Computer Science and Business Information Systems at the University of Namibia (UNAM), Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) and the International University of Management (IUM).
The beneficiaries include four new students and two continuing recipients from the 2025 intake.
The new bursary recipients are Anastasia Twamoneni, a second-year Bachelor of Commerce in Chartered Accounting student at UNAM, Christian Amukwa, a third-year Data Science student at UNAM, Meinhold Muyenga, who is pursuing a postgraduate diploma in Cybersecurity at NUST, and Lyuvika Amadhila, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science honours student at UNAM.
Continuing beneficiaries are Kadischa Wasserfall, a final-year Business Information Systems student at IUM, and Willryna Basson, a final-year Accounting student at NUST.
MTC said the bursary programme forms part of its broader commitment to supporting the education sector and assisting academically deserving students who cannot afford tertiary education costs.
Former MTC bursary recipient and now the company’s Corporate Communications Specialist, Erasmus Nekundi, said the programme continues to create opportunities for young Namibians.
“It is satisfying to see more students continuing to benefit from the very same bursary programme which assisted me in my academic journey some years back,” Nekundi said.
“This is not just funding the academic journey but a possible opportunity for the recipients to secure employment opportunities at MTC upon completing their studies.”
MTC’s bursary programme supports students across various academic disciplines aligned to the company’s skills and development priorities.
