The multimedia conglomerate MultiChoice hosted its silver jubilee bash in Namibia at their headquarters in Windhoek, in utter style.

This glimpse of triumph started in December 1992, when the joint venture with Kalahari Holdings was the beginning of a new era. MultiChoice uses the power of entertainment to enrich the lives of Namibians. It is an integral part of the entertainment industry, contributes to education and also makes a positive contribution towards economic growth and job creation in Namibia.

MultiChoice Namibia's general manager Roger Gertze outlined the company's contributions to the country. He said MultiChoice has empowered Namibians to make a difference in their communities by equipping them with additional skills, financial assistance and educational training. “To date, we have three branches, 13 agents, 120 accredited installers and 70 formal retailers. Through investing in infrastructure, technology and, most importantly, in people, MultiChoice Namibia has a direct economic impact of over N$150 million,” he said. The chairperson of the board of directors Milka Mungunda echoed the same sentiment. “MultiChoice has empowered Namibians to make a difference in their communities. The outcomes of this are becoming more confident and having faith in themselves. Through that, they become better people and are more conscious of themselves and their environment,” she said.

The MultiChoice Africa CEO, Brand de Villiers praised the MultiChoice Namibia team for their ongoing customer care support and impacting the Namibian community at large. “Our very existence is due to the loyalty of our valued customers and our commitment is to ensure that you have the very best television experience possible, the best content, the best technology and the best customer experience. Thank you to the dedicated and hardworking Namibian staff, agents and installers who make it all happen ensuring that our customers are connected to the best entertainment, news and sport from around the world,” he said.

President Hage Geingob acknowledged MultiChoice's contribution to Namibia and congratulated them for their great heights and achievements. “Namibia is a wonderful country that needs to be promoted as a brand. Yes, we have wide open spaces, we have great landscapes, and we have game parks, but we are more than that. We need also to embrace and promote our cultural heritage, our music, and our artists. MultiChoice is particularly suited for taking up this project,” Geingob said.
