MTN Group has been named Best Corporate in Investor Relations and Best Team in Investor Relations at the 2025 Extel Europe & Emerging EMEA ( Europe, Middle East and Africa) Equities Awards, strengthening its reputation for capital markets engagement. The Group also topped the Most Honoured Companies category.
The annual survey, independently compiled by Extel, is widely regarded as one of the most respected measures of corporate performance in investor relations. The 2025 edition drew over 460 responses across 304 companies and 608 individuals, with votes weighted on management credibility, capital allocation, investor engagement, disclosure quality and ESG standards.
MTN ranked first in its sector, Large Cap EMEA-TMT, across eight categories, including Best Company Board, Best CEO (Ralph Mupita), Best CFO (Tsholofelo Molefe), Best Investor Relations Professional (Thato Motlanthe), Best Investor Relations Program, Best Investor/Analyst Event, and Best ESG Program.
“The work to safeguard and enhance MTN’s reputation with our capital markets stakeholders is a major priority for us. We are humbled by this recognition and grateful to investors and analysts for their continued engagement,” said MTN Group Chief Financial Officer Tsholofelo Molefe. “These awards are a testament to the hard work of our Investor Relations team and the collaboration across MTN to ensure that we communicate openly, consistently and with integrity. We remain committed to strengthening trust through financial discipline, transparent reporting and constructive dialogue with all our stakeholders.”
MTN Group Executive for Investor Relations, Thato Motlanthe, added, “The scope and scale of the Extel survey make the recognition especially meaningful. It is shared with the colleagues across the organisation that we work with every day, and we are deeply appreciative of the confidence placed in MTN by the investment community. We will continue to focus on providing clear and timely insights, while listening closely to the perspectives of our stakeholders, as we work to build enduring relationships that support MTN’s long-term success.”
The recognition extends MTN’s consistent record at the Extel Awards and reinforces its position as a leading African multinational with a sustained reputation for effective and transparent capital markets engagement.
