Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) has been ranked Namibia’s number one public enterprise in the inaugural IJG Annual Public Enterprise Governance Ranking 2026, following an assessment of commercial public enterprises over the rolling five-year period from 2021 to 2025.
The ranking assessed entities against key indicators including transparency, profitability, contributions to the fiscus and executive leadership stability.
MTC emerged as the country’s top-performing entity, reaffirming its commitment to responsible governance, financial discipline and sustainable value creation.
According to MTC Chief Brand, Marketing, Communications and Sustainability Officer, Tim Ekandjo, the achievement reflects the governance culture that has shaped MTC’s performance and echoes the trust placed in the company by its shareholders, customers and the Namibian public.
“Firstly, our appreciation goes to our Board for their governance leadership. As MTC, being recognised for sound governance speaks to the culture we have built, upheld and continue to value, one anchored on integrity, accountability, innovation and performance.
“Governance is not merely a compliance exercise for MTC; it is embedded in how we lead, how we make decisions and how we create sustainable value for our shareholders and the nation.
“This recognition inspires us to continue raising the bar as we drive Namibia’s digital future.”
MTC became the first Namibian public enterprise to successfully list on the Namibian Stock Exchange through its landmark Initial Public Offering in 2021.
Since then, the company has continued to deliver consistent profitability, strong shareholder returns and meaningful contributions to the national fiscus, while strengthening its position as Namibia’s leading telecommunications and digital economic driver.
Together, these achievements reinforce MTC’s position as a benchmark for corporate governance and institutional excellence, underscoring that sustainable commercial success is built on transparency, sound leadership and an unwavering commitment to delivering value for all stakeholders.
