MTN Group and MTN South Africa announced several board changes on Friday, 27 March 2026, including multiple new members and retirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MTN Group chairman Mcebisi Jonas said the changes were part of the group’s comprehensive succession planning to ensure delivery against its evolved Ambition 2030 strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They also reflect ongoing efforts to strengthen governance, expertise and strategic oversight,” Jonas said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Board will temporarily expand to accommodate new appointments during the transition period and will gradually reduce as directors retire, and succession plans progress.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Effective 31 March 2026, Herman Bosman, Advocate Ouma Rasethaba, St\u00e9phane Richard, Ignatius Sehoole and Saf Yeboah-Amankwah will join the board as independent non-executive directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jonas welcomed the incoming board members and said he was looking forward to their contribution as the group delivered on its strategy of leading digital solutions for Africa’s progress.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The telecoms company said the new additions brought collective and diverse expertise and experience to significantly enhance the group as it works to extend digital and financial inclusion across Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stan Miller and Nkululeko Sowazi, who have served the MTN Group since August 2016, will retire as non-executive directors at the group’s annual general meeting on 29 May 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jonas thanked the outgoing directors for their dedicated service, which MTN said was instrumental in guiding the group through numerous challenges and opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MTN is also making one change to the MTN South Africa board, with Mike Harper stepping down as chairman on 31 March 2026, after almost a decade of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The board expressed its sincere appreciation for his decade of service at the company. Sindi Mabaso Koyana will take over as chairperson of MTN South Africa on 1 April 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mabaso will remain on the MTN Group board, as will Noluthando Gosa, who also joins the MTN South Africa board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
