The NBC director general believes this race shows how media can create good changes beyond just TV shows and radio programs. He talked about why the national broadcaster supports events that matter to Namibians.
Similo spoke at the launch ceremony, where he highlighted the marathon's importance for the community. The yearly running event brings people together from across the country.
