WINDHOEK – Shift Technology Solutions Cc T/A Mi-fone Namibia handed over equipment worth N$20 000 last week to the Namibian National Olympic Committee (NNOC) for the Queen’s Baton Relay.
The sponsorship includes 20 Mi-Fone mobile phones, the first African brand now available on the Namibian market. The phones are aimed at allowing the NNOC to have better communication during the relay, slated for the capital this coming Wednesday. “We decided to get involved with the NNOC and provide them with mobile phones for better communication during the Queen’s Baton Relay. Nowadays, technology and sports go hand-in-hand. We will allow the NNOC to keep the phones for the future to reach out to people all over the world,” said a delighted Victor Nzaramba, Managing Director Mi-Fone Namibia.
Further equipment made available to NNOC included t-shirts and caps to make the identification of official members of the relay much easier.
The baton touches down at the Hosea Kutako International Airport tomorrow and will be received by members of the NNOC.
The actual relay starts the following day in Pionierspark and winds its way through the capital by various runners and walkers until it reaches Parliament Gardens where it will be handed over to the Deputy Prime Minister, honorable Marco Hausiku. Hausiku will in turn hand the baton over to Botswana High Commissioner as that country will be the next stop of the relay.
