Windhoek: Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) has been ranked Namibia's top public enterprise in the inaugural IJG Annual Public Enterprise Governance Ranking 2026, following an assessment of commercial public enterprises over the period from 2021 to 2025.

According to Namibia Press Agency, the ranking assessed public enterprises on governance indicators, including transparency, profitability, contributions to the fiscus, and executive leadership stability. MTC Chief Brand, Marketing, Communications and Sustainability Officer, Tim Ekandjo, in a media statement on Tuesday, said the recognition reflects the company's commitment to sound governance, accountability, and sustainable value creation.

'Being recognised for sound governance speaks to the culture we have built and continue to uphold, anchored on integrity, accountability, innovation, and performance,' he said. Ekandjo added that the recognition also reflects the leadership of the company's board and will encourage MTC to continue strengthening its governance standards while driving Namibia's digital transformation.

MTC noted that it has maintained consistent profitability and shareholder returns since becoming the first Namibian public enterprise to list on the Namibian Stock Exchange through its initial public offering in 2021.
