The recent launch of namcca.com, the official website for the DStv Namibia Content Creators Awards 2024 (NAMCCA), has been met with widespread enthusiasm and excitement.
Spearheaded by Pinehas ‘Zulu Boy’ Shikulo, the initiative aims to spotlight and celebrate the digital talent flourishing in Namibia. With a strategic partnership with DStv Namibia, the awards promise to provide a significant boost to the country's content creators.
The launch of the website has been positively received, marking a pivotal moment for Namibian digital talent.

Celebration of creativity and innovation
Speaking to tjil, Shikulo mentioned that nominations are open until Friday, 9 August, allowing ample time for the public to participate and support their favourite digital stars.
“On 31 August, the nominees will be announced at Ster Kinekor Grove Mall. This event will mark the beginning of a public voting period, accompanied by workshops that will continue up to the main awards ceremony in November.
“This structure not only builds anticipation, but also engages the community in a celebration of creativity and innovation,” Shikulo added.
