Information and Communication Technology Minister Emma Theofelus says the government will continue to collaborate with private entities to ensure that underserved communities have access to services.

Speaking at the opening of the MTC Mobile Home in Greenwell Matongo in Windhoek, Theofelus said as communities continue to expand, so does the need to build more infrastructure to bring services closer to the people.

She emphasised that ICT services have proven to be a connector between the informal community, the informal economy, and the formal economy.

"So I must commend the MTC leadership for bringing this mobile home closer to the people of Samora Machel and to the people of Greenwell to ensure their services are not delayed as they continue to use ICT services to improve their lives. Whether it's the network towers we've installed in this specific constituency or the numerous others we're consistently expanding, we're making significant progress. As the Ministry of ICT, we frequently receive enquiries about the ongoing installation of network towers in Windhoek. Why are we constantly putting infrastructure, fibre optics, on the side of the street in Windhoek? We do it because the community and the population continue to grow. We do it because the density continues to go higher. We do it because the growing community increases the demand for services.

She also urged other entities to follow suit in bettering the livelihood of people.

MTC's Chief Financial Officer, Thinus Smit, reaffirmed the company's commitment to providing telecommunications services closer to the people.

"We are not only a corporate citizen, but we also become a partner in the development goals. That's it. As leaders, we can never overlook the disregard of the voice of our people, and for us to serve better, we must listen."

So far, MTC has 37 mobile homes across the country.
