Celestial City is an initial song offering platform built on Web 3.0, which is the third generation of internet services for websites and applications that will focus on using a machine-based understanding of data to provide a data-driven and semantic web.

Headed by Former Vodacom Executive, Dr. Nkechi Newton, Celestial City has a roster of industry veterans including Global Creative Marketing Executive at Netflix, Tamara Johnson.

According to the proposal, the platform also plans on hosting concerts for major and independent artists globally, physically, and on the Metaverse.

Speaking after receiving the proposal from Celestial City Minister of Labour Vera Kamtukule said her ministry recognizes the potential of the creative sector in job creation as well as skills development. She is optimistic that many young people in the country will benefit from this project.

Kamtukule said that this proposal is in line with the job creation strategy that is focusing on the impact of the youth in achieving the respective objectives.

“The youth are an integral part in the building of a nation. As long as they have the skills and they are well trained you are assured of great things.

“This proposal I feel will enable youths to be employed remotely, thus providing labour compensation inflows in line with the government’s job creation strategy MIP 1 and MW2063”, she said.

On behalf of Celestial City, Penjani Kalua said he was happy that government through the ministry of Labour saw the importance of the proposal and accepted to partner with Celestial City.

“I am so excited that we have presented our proposal and it has been warmly received. I feel we all have a part to play, we need to be counted and be a light in the dark. I am looking forward to the implementation of this project and to see youths benefiting”, said Kalua.
