Omaruru, Namibia – 29 August 2025 – Telecom Namibia today celebrated the official reopening of its Teleshop in Omaruru, marking a significant milestone in the company's dedication to enhancing telecommunications services across the region. The facility, strategically located in the heart of Omaruru, stands as a testament to Telecom Namibia's commitment to providing reliable and advanced ICT solutions. The official reopening ceremony was attended by local dignitaries, community leaders, and esteemed guests.

The Omaruru Teleshop's reopening is a strategic initiative that supports Telecom Namibia's Integrated Strategic Business Plan for 2023-2027, which outlines the company's commitment to network modernization, service enhancement, and customer satisfaction. To achieve these goals, Telecom Namibia is expanding its mobile base stations in the Erongo Region and accelerating the rollout of fiber infrastructure to improve connectivity for residential, commercial, and governmental clients.

The decision to reopen the Omaruru Teleshop resulted from a meticulous analysis of the region's economic landscape, strategic imperatives, and growth potential.

This decision was driven by several key factors, including:

• Telecom Namibia’s ongoing expansion of its mobile and fixed network infrastructure across the country.
• Omaruru's diverse economy, encompassing farming, manufacturing, and key industries, which provides a strong foundation for telecom services.
• Existing mobile, fixed-wireless and VSAT connectivity, coupled with abundant water resources, supporting sustainable agricultural development.
• Omaruru's location within a tourism belt, highlighting the need for reliable communication and connectivity.
• Mineral deposits in surrounding areas, indicating future growth potential in the mining sector.
• High mobile phone and radio penetration, juxtaposed with low direct internet connectivity, revealing significant potential for enhanced services.

This reopening aligns perfectly with Omaruru's vibrant service sector, including education, healthcare, government, tourism, and banking, all of which stand to gain significantly from the newly reopened Teleshop. Education benefits from enhanced internet for learning, healthcare from seamless patient communication, and government from reliable infrastructure. Tourism thrives with improved connectivity for bookings and visitor experiences, and banking services rely on secure networks. The Teleshop directly addresses the connectivity gap, providing accessible, localized support, and advanced telecommunication solutions, empowering residents and businesses with essential digital tools and fostering economic growth across all sectors.

The reopening of the Teleshop signifies more than a resumption of operations; it represents Telecom Namibia's commitment to the community, providing enhanced access to its offerings and personalized, face-to-face service with trained representatives. At the ceremony, His Worship the Mayor, Honorable Vincent Kahua of Omaruru, emphasized the significance of the event, stating, "Today is more than just the reopening of a Teleshop; it’s about creating stronger connections, fostering growth, and building a brighter future for Omaruru, its people, and the surrounding areas." He further noted that the new Teleshop represents a "significant investment that will help meet the growing demand for communication and information in our community," serving as a testament to Telecom Namibia's commitment to bringing modern technology and superior service to the region. Furthermore, in a strong show of community support, Telecom Namibia employees, represented by the Senior Regional Commercial Manager for the Erongo Region, Mr. Elton Vries, donated sanitary towels valued at N$4,000 to S.I.!Gobs Secondary School. This contribution reflects the employees’ commitment to dignity, education, and community upliftment.
