The Government of Namibia has reappointed Audrin Mathe as Executive Director of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT), extending his leadership for another five years as the country accelerates efforts to modernise its digital infrastructure and services.

The renewal, effective November 1, was confirmed by Secretary to Cabinet Emilia Mkusa, ahead of the expiry of Mathe’s current term in October. The move signals the government’s intention to maintain policy continuity in Namibia’s national digital agenda.

Leadership continuity for Namibia’s digital strategy

Mathe’s reappointment signals stability in Namibia’s push to expand rural connectivity, enhance e-governance, and support digital innovation. As Executive Director, he has played a key role in aligning MICT’s initiatives with broader African digital inclusion goals.

Under his leadership, Namibia has taken steps to modernise its communications infrastructure, improve access to broadband internet, and integrate digital services into public administration. His renewed mandate is expected to further efforts in bridging the urban-rural digital divide and creating an enabling environment for ICT startups and investment.

Public service experience and ICT vision

Before joining MICT, Mathe held various influential positions, including CEO of New Era Publications Corporation, and spokesperson to two former prime ministers—Dr. Hage Geingob and Theo-Ben Gurirab. He also served at the SADC Parliamentary Forum and the Roads Authority, where he led communication efforts.

With over 30 years of experience in media, governance, and public policy, Mathe is widely respected for his expertise in strategic communication and ICT governance. His academic portfolio includes a PhD in Public Rhetoric from the University of Cape Town, an MPhil in Development Policy, and an MBA in Leadership, among other qualifications.

His involvement in national bodies such as the President’s Economic Advisory Council and the Public Enterprises CEO Forum has given him a broad perspective on economic development and policy implementation.

Broader cabinet moves and future outlook

Mathe’s reappointment was announced alongside that of Sikongo Haihambo, who will continue as Executive Director of the Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism, beginning 1 December 2025, for a two-year, five-month term. Both appointments were made under the Public Service Act and recommended by the Public Service Commission.

These leadership decisions reflect the government’s intention to maintain momentum in key policy areas. For MICT, this includes not only rolling out national digital infrastructure but also strengthening cybersecurity, improving ICT literacy, and fostering innovation hubs that can support job creation and economic diversification.

As the ICT sector becomes increasingly central to Namibia’s development, Mathe’s role will be critical in ensuring digital tools and policies benefit all Namibians. His reappointment reaffirms the country’s commitment to inclusive, technology-driven growth.
