Diversity and inclusion
We recognise the value of diverse and inclusive teams. Diversity of thought, skills and experience drives innovation, which is essential to achieving our strategy and supports our purpose. We are passionate about creating an inclusive, accessible and supportive environment, a place where everyone can be themselves and feel a sense of belonging. We are deliberate in our hiring of people with disabilities.
Our journey towards our deliberate diversity and inclusion vision has been core to MTN’s people plans.
- We committed to achieving workforce gender equality by 2030.
- We committed to gender pay parity.
- We committed to attaining deliberate gender representation in our strategic programmes. We aim to achieve a minimum of 30% women representation in business transformations, upskilling programmes and specialised initiatives that form part of Ambition 2025.

Accelerating rural connectivity
With a significant portion of Africa’s population living in rural areas, we are committed to expanding our network to underserved communities and are targeting 95% broadband coverage by 2025. By end-2022, our broadband coverage (including rural areas) was 87.8% as we rolled out an additional 1 669 rural sites, expanding rural coverage to 30.8 million people. We are closing coverage gaps through collaboration with several partners and OpenRAN technology. To complement our terrestrial network connectivity, we plan to conduct pilot projects for low earth orbit satellite connectivity.
