MTC intends to continue as a catalyst for sustained growth in Namibia's creative industry. 

This is after another commitment of N$250,000 to the Simply You Magazine Lifestyle and Fashion Awards (SYMLAFA). 

MTC's Corporate Affairs and Sponsorship Manager, John Ekongo, reaffirmed the company's belief that strategic investment in creativity drives job creation, economic diversification and cultural expression. 

The awards' creative director, Helena Shigwedha, said MTC's support has gone beyond financial assistance and has provided credibility and encouragement to the present and aspiring creatives.

The co-founder of SYMLAFA, Helena Ngaifiwa, noted that the awards have grown over the past eight years.

The eighth edition of the awards will be held on the 25th of October under the theme 'Namibian Excellence – Black Tie and Diamonds'.
