Telecom Namibia CEO to lead Southern Africa Telecommunications Association

Telecom Namibia CEO, Dr. Stanley Shanapinda is set to be appointed as the new Chairman of the Southern Africa Telecommunications Association (SATA).

Dr. Shanapinda will lead the organization for the next 12 months.

This comes as SATA is set to hold its regional conference in Namibia this week, which will be hosted by Telecom Namibia.

The three-day conference is set to focus on the theme of "Connecting SADC Regionally and Internationally through ICT Infrastructure and Services."

The event aims to bring together influential and senior experts in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry from both within and outside the SADC region to discuss a wide range of topics including technology and infrastructure, policy, and strategy for the future of the telecommunications industry.

Shanapinda expressed his excitement at the opportunity to host the conference and lead SATA as Chairman.

He sees the event as an opportunity to provide a platform for discussions that will drive regional solutions to strengthen economic and social demands, as well as offer improved coordination of capacity network through enhancement of regional and global communications.

"It is through this ongoing dialogue and engagement that will allow us to stay abreast of developments within the region and globally. Through benchmarking with peers in the region and sharing key learnings, vendors and industry solution providers can compare notes and further improve service delivery to the people of the region," said Shanapinda.

The SATA conference is the largest gathering on ICT in the region and a vital avenue to promote the development of ICTs and telecommunications.

Addressing modern-era telecommunications challenges and the needs and aspirations of member organizations will be high on the agenda.

Participants from host Namibia and other SADC member states, including Angola, Zambia, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zambia, are expected to attend the conference.
