The Group stated:  “The Company would like to thank Godfrey for his leadership of MTN SA during a time when the business built a leading network position and improved its competitive position in the consumer postpaid and enterprise businesses,”.

Mr. Molapisi joined MTN in 2009.  He is a very experienced executive who has held senior positions within the MTN Group,  including Group Chief Technology and Information Officer (CTIO) since 2020, CEO of MTN Zambia and Chief Information Officer (CIO) of MTN Nigeria. Molapisi is on the board of many companies within the Company, including MTN Nigeria.

The MTN Group says Mr. Motsa will be available until the end of June 2022 to ensure a smooth handover and transition.

Also, Mazen Mroue has been asked to take over the role of Group CTIO from Molapisi beginning February 1, 2022.

Mr. Mazen joined MTN in 1998 and is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of MTN Nigeria, a position he has held since 2018.

Prior to that, Mazen held various senior positions within the Group’s regional operation, including roles as CEO, COO and CIO of different operating companies in the Group.

Mazen’s successor in MTN Nigeria will be named in January 2022, ahead of his move to Group.

MTN Group President and Chief Executive Officer, Ralph Mupita said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Godfrey Motsa for the role he has played over the years in the Group, firstly as VP of SEA and then CEO of MTN SA.”
