MTN CEO publicly called for 'social solidarity' as South African migrant crackdown drew protests at MTN Ghana HQ

Jun 14, 2026

MTN Group President and CEO Ralph Mupita posted on LinkedIn on June 14, 2026 calling for 'greater social solidarity, increasing economic integration and the observance of the rule of law' as South Africa's June 30, 2026 deadline for undocumented migrants triggered regional backlash. Earlier on June 11, 2026 the 'South Africa Must Go' movement marched on MTN's Ghana headquarters in Accra accusing South Africa of mistreating fellow Africans. MTN joined Business Unity South Africa and Business Leadership South Africa in warning that hostility toward foreign nationals harms South Africa's economic interests.
