As we approach June 2024, we’re on the brink of commemorating three decades of fostering connections and driving meaningful value,” shares Mcebisi Jonas, Group Chairman.
He wrote in the group’s latest annual report published today, stating: “As we continue to navigate the macro-challenges in our trading environment, we reflect with both pride and humility on the progress of the business over the past three decades.
“This has been powered by the dedication and resilience of MTNers, as well as the support of so many different people and institutions, including customers, governments and regulators, investors, suppliers and civil society. This embodies our ethos of cultivating partnerships for progress in our markets. ”
He added that in the year ahead, will be informed by deliberations about: •
Geopolitical developments and impacts, including those from elections taking place across the world and in some of our markets. These will also inform our stakeholder engagements and partnerships with our nation-state hosts. Progress against our commitments of Ambition 2025, in particular the structural separation of our fintech and fibre businesses and our work to further develop our digital offerings.
Advancing our governance agenda, including improving subsidiary governance; succession planning; responding to the Board evaluation; and reviewing the Board appointment and vetting process.
“Finally, I would like to thank all stakeholders for their support and look forward to engaging with you in 2024. MTN will work to ensure that no one is left behind as we continue with the focused execution of the Ambition 2025 strategy,” said Jonas.
