MTN

Providing voice, data, fintech, digital, enterprise, wholesale and API services to 288 million customers in 18 markets.

Our purpose

is to enable the benefits of a modern connected life to everyone.

Inspired by Africa’s potential, we are committed to bridging the digital divide, furthering financial inclusion and advancing the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through our core business activities and our support to governments, communities and customers. The UN SDGs target a sustainable society with a plan to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure equality for all by 2030.

Our history

We were established in South Africa at the dawn of democracy in 1994 as a leader in transformation. Since then, we have grown by investing in sophisticated communication infrastructure, developing new technologies and by harnessing the talent of our diverse people to now offer services to communities across Africa.

Our strategic intent

Ambition 2025: Leading digital solutions for Africa’s progress, harnessing the power of MTN – our leading brand, footprint, connectivity infrastructure and technology platforms.

Our strategy is anchored in building the largest and most valuable platform business with a clear focus on Africa. This rests on a scale connectivity and infrastructure business – mobile and fixed access networks in the consumer, enterprise and wholesale segments. We are accelerating implementation through partnerships. Our strategy is supported and funded through enhanced cost and capex efficiencies. It is focused on four strategic priorities and five vital enablers.
