After 29 years in existence, Mobile Telecommunication Limited (MTC) widened its presence with a dealer shop concept in the Otjinene village, in the Omaheke region on Tuesday.
John Ekongo, MTC’s corporate affairs manager, explained that apart from providing services to the people, the dealership concept also provides income for dealers to earn a commission from serving MTC clientele, especially in remote areas.
“Before this new dealer shop, people of Otjinene and other adjacent constituencies used to travel hundreds of kilometres to Gobabis or Grootfontein to open a contract account. We are thus glad that this will not be the case anymore,“ said Ekongo.
Angela Tjihoreko welcomed the initiative.
“We are excited because they will provide us with services such as contract signing, SIM card replacement, and registration.” Rather than going to Gobabis, they made it easy for us,” she said.
“I am happy for MTC they brought their services closer to us. We no longer need to go to Epako,” said another client, Eva Nguatjanai.
Otjinene Constituency councillor Erwin Katjizeu commended MTC for its inclusive approach to expanding its presence in remote areas.
Katjizeu said that individuals and local businesses alike will benefit from the newly opened MTC dealer shop, as this marks a significant milestone for the community.
“MTC’s presence will not just benefit individuals but also facilitate business growth and opportunities. It is an economic stimulation. We will now have easy access to smart communication tools and services that improve our communication experience and bridge the digital divide,” said Katjizeu.
