MTN Group has outlined its boldest strategy yet as it prepares for life beyond its Ambition 2025 plan. At an editors' roundtable in Sandton, CEO Ralph Mupita highlighted record-breaking results, a milestone 300 million subscriber base, and an ambitious roadmap built around consolidation, financial technology, and digital infrastructure - even as the company faces ongoing litigation and a U.S. Department of Justice DOJ probe.
Strongest Results in a DecadeMupita said MTN's first-half performance was the best in nearly 10 years, driven by Nigeria, Ghana, and Uganda. "In the eight years I've been here, these are the best set of financial results that MTN has posted," he said.
The Group has now surpassed 300 million subscribers , placing it among the world's top 10 or 11 largest operators. "We ended June just under 298 million, and by the run rate of acquisitions, we're at 300 million today," Mupita confirmed.
