It is imperative that as a country we completely embrace and utilize the 4IR, said Moses Matyayi, Chief Executive Officer of Otjiwarongo Municipality. “As a nation, we have adopted a position paper on how to best utilize the 4IR. As a local authority that offers public government services, we will be better able to accomplish our institutional goals, missions, and objectives by embracing technology and working in collaboration with MTC. In order for our growth and development to have an impact on the lives of our people, we want to serve our community effectively and promptly.
“Bringing thought leadership from the two sectors together is nothing new,” said Melvin Angula, Chief Commercial Officer of MTC. “Services like smart metering, Safe Cities, and Green Services are among those that MTC and Otjiwarongo will work on to build a connected and economically involved society. And signing this MOU gives us confidence and joy that we are headed in the right direction for providing services to municipal residents who also serve as our clients.
