to see more students continuing to benefit from the very same bursary program which assisted me in my academic journey some years back.” Nekundi added, “This is not just funding the academic journey but a possible opportunity for the recipients to secure employment opportunities at MTC upon completing their studies.” Since the inception of the bursary programme, MTC has invested a total of N$5.7 million
towards tertiary education support for deserving and talented Namibian students across
