Group president and CEO, Ralph Mupita comments:

“In 2021, we adapted to extraordinary circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and started shaping the MTN of the future through the execution of our Ambition 2025 strategy. During the year, COVID-19 has impacted lives and livelihoods across our markets and, as MTN Group, we were honored to have played a humble role in supporting the Africa Union’s efforts to bring much needed vaccines to our markets at a time where the continent was faced with challenging conditions on accessing vaccines equitably with other continents.
