Speaking to New Era on Sunday on the introduction of drama content by the NBC, Amutse says the move is a relief to script writers and broadcasters whose careers have been in dilemma due to lack of market.<\/p>\n<p>NBC director general Stanley Similo last week announced that the corporation will start broadcasting local dramas in all languages. He said not only will the move promote the spirit of local content but it is also an opportunity for artists to venture into promoting their careers.<\/p>\n<p>Similo, said the radio dramas are a way to preserve Namibia\u2019s cultures and oral traditions. Africa and Namibia in particular have a lot of untold stories and cultural content, which can be turned into dramas for educational purposes and as a form of entertainment, added Amutse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decision by the NBC is truly responding to the public call for an intensified localised content in all sectors that involve public funding. We still need to increase funding for local films as a means of career building and to provide content that best reflects who we are,\u201d said the parliamentarian.<\/p>\n<p>Amutse, a former journalist, urged the youth in all 14 regions to capture this opportunity as a positive unifying exercise that can also generate income for their basic needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
