Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) has been named one of Africa’s most admired brands after securing five awards at the 2026 Brand Africa Awards held in Windhoek.
The telecommunications company took home the prestigious Most Admired Brand Grand Prix Award, which recognises brands demonstrating purpose-led excellence, sustainability, social impact and a commitment to advancing development across the continent.
MTC also received awards in four additional categories: Most Admired Namibian Brand in Telecommunications, Most Admired Brand for Doing Good for Society and the Environment, Most Admired Brand Contributing to a Better Africa, and Most Admired African Brand.
The awards ceremony also saw MTC’s Chief Brand, Marketing, Communications and Sustainability Officer, Tim Ekandjo, recognised with the Most Influential African Chief Marketing Officer Award.
Speaking after receiving the accolades, Ekandjo said the recognition reflected the contribution of MTC’s customers and communities across Namibia.
“These awards do not belong to MTC alone. They may carry our name, but ultimately, they carry the Namibian story,” he said.
He added that the company’s success was rooted in the support of its customers, families and communities, whom he described as the heartbeat of the brand.
The Brand Africa Awards are regarded as one of the continent’s leading platforms for recognising Africa’s most admired, trusted and influential brands.
MTC said the recognition reflects its continued investment in innovation, customer experience, digital inclusion and sustainability initiatives aimed at supporting Namibia’s development goals and broader continental priorities.
The awards ceremony brought together business leaders, brand executives and industry stakeholders from across Africa to celebrate brand excellence and purpose-driven growth.
Organisers said the event highlighted the growing role of African brands in promoting social inclusion, innovation and long-term value creation, while encouraging responsible corporate leadership across the continent.
