Celebrating 15 years of existence in 2018, the station appointed Stefan Hugo as Chief Executive Officer in January 2018, signifying a new era of leadership and innovation set to catapult the media platform into the digital age of media transformation.

Talking about the future of One Africa, Stefan said: "We believe that One Africa Television must play a crucial role to empower Namibians through independent news, real Namibian stories, education and entertainment. Our main focus will be to curate and create local content that resonates with the people in this country and our continent."
