ITWeb reports that the MTN Group has announced changes to its executive committee (exco) team. Among the changes, Ferdi Moolman, the current group chief risk officer (GCRO), will succeed Charles Molapisi as CEO and executive director of MTN South Africa.
Molapisi was appointed as MTN SA CEO, effective January 2022, replacing Godfrey Motsa. Prior to the appointment, he served as chief technology information officer. Molapisi, who has a strong background in network and IT, will remain on the group exco, taking up his previous role as group chief information and technology officer (GCTIO). He will have additional responsibilities and focus on speeding up artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and infusion across the business. Moolman has held several senior roles within the group, including CEO of MTN Nigeria from 2016 to 2021. Consequently, MTN advised that he would step down from the MTN Nigeria board effective 31 October.
Ahead of the upcoming retirement in 2026 of MTN SA chairman Mike Harper, the company has been implementing measures to ensure a smooth and structured transition in the entity’s board leadership. “In this context, we are pleased to announce that Sindisiwe Mabaso-Koyana will succeed Harper as the new chairperson of MTN SA in the first quarter of 2026,” MTN announced.
