Mteto Nyati is to become the new CEO of MTN South Africa with immediate effect, an MTN Group (JSE: MTN) spokesperson confirmed today.
He succeeds Ahmad Farrouk, who resigned last week and was yesterday named CEO of Etisalat’s Saudi subsidiary, Etihad Etisalat, which operates as Mobily.
Nyati moves from his role as group chief enterprise officer, a role he took in October 2014. He had been working on integrating the company’s ICT offering at the group and enterprise level.
“He brings extensive knowledge of the local ICT market, and is passionate about people and customer service.
“We believe the appointment of a leader of Nyati’s calibre and competencies will greatly enhance our efforts to strengthen the confidence of our customers and reinvigorate our people,” says Sifiso Dabengwa, MTN group president and CEO.
Some 2,000 staff at MTN South Africa have been on strike for the last eight weeks. Today a local report said there could be possible lay-offs numbering in the hundreds.
