Kati FM too joined in on the celebrations of the 35th anniversary of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation, roping in some of its retired veteran presenters.
Kati FM has remained central to Namibian people, drawing in scores of listeners and taking second spot in listenership following National FM.
Listeners in both rural and urban areas continue to engage with the broadcaster and tune in to various programmes on offer.
On Friday morning a pleasant surprise welcomed by avid listeners was waking up to the voices of their former presenters who have long retired from active service at the public broadcaster.
Amongst them, Hangula Pohamba, Angula Ndjembo and Ndeshihafela Kandume, who have served the corporation for decades and have seen its transition pre- and post-independence and are in unison in describing NBC as an unparalleled broadcasting giant on both radio and television.
As 72-year-old Pohamba reflects on the journey of the broadcaster, he says he is beaming with pride.
"We worked throughout the various transitions of the broadcaster leading up until now, and it's become a household name and trusted news source across the country for 35 years. I am proud to look at how far we have come and the opportunities presented to us as former employees; our names are etched in the hearts of Namibians through the airwaves."
Ndeshihafela Kandume was amongst the first crop of women to work at the broadcaster, and now at 62, she says constant language perfection and learning about current affairs remain central to the preservation of indigenous languages.
"It's good to learn the language one presents in how you pronounce words and idioms; how you present it to a larger public is also key, and the problem comes in when a person is not able to articulate themselves well in a vernacular language, and hence listeners believe it's the correct way to speak. So training should be key, and with the current technology, NBC continues to do well."
Angula Ndjembo, now 75 years old, says he is proud to have changed lives through the NBC airwaves.
"Even though the beginning phases of the early days were challenging, it gave us a good opportunity to do better because in the past it was a challenging time, but after independence, the broadcaster. My hope is that all local languages and dialects will one day be heard on radio and television."
The national broadcaster's decades of existence and experience remain a blueprint in bringing untold stories to the fore, cemented in media ethics whilst continuing to be a trusted news outlet.
