Telecom CEO takes up regional executive role

The appointment follows a competitive regional recruitment process and will see Shanapinda lead the organisation responsible for promoting regulatory harmonisation and cooperation among communication regulators in the Southern African Development Community. Telecom Namibia spokesperson Nomvula Kambinda says the appointment marks a significant career move and a boost for Namibia’s standing in the regional telecommunications and information communication technology (ICT) sector. A new chief executive will be recruited once the company’s new board of directors starts on 3 June, according to information and communication technology minister Emma Theofelus.
