Windhoek, Namibia's capital has been hit the worst by the energy crisis.

"We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding - as we work to restore services," said MTC Namibia in a statement. The operator reported a power loss in Windhoek, where its key systems serving the rest of the country are based. "The power outages were followed by continued surges, which affected the expected automatic services restoration, resulting in service failure in some parts of the country, affecting customers.”

The company told subscribers that the process of service restoration was ongoing, with personnel working round the clock to restore the remaining affected locations.

Telecom Namibia also reported an outage and apologized to customers: "we recognize the critical role internet services play in our daily lives and businesses, and we extend our sincere apologies for any inconveniences this may have caused.”
