#30yearsofMTN | In 1994, South Africa stood on the brink of a monumental shift, celebrating its first democratic elections and the dawn of a new era. Amidst this historic moment, another quiet revolution began—one that would redefine communication and connection for millions. In June of that year, as South Africa emerged from the shadows of apartheid, only 1% of adult black South Africans had telephones in their homes. This stark reality underscored the deep-seated inequalities that still needed to be addressed. However, the rise of cellular technology offered a glimmer of hope—a promise of a more connected future where communication became a right rather than a privilege. Fast forward three decades, and MTN's iconic yellow has become a symbol of innovation, connectivity, and social impact across Africa. It stands testament to the visionaries who dared to dream and the relentless efforts of countless individuals who made that dream a reality. The story of MTN's yellow is not just about corporate branding; it's about human ingenuity, ambition, and the transformative power of connection.

#30yearsofMTN | Our journey began with a bold promise: to install 7,500 community payphones in five years. This wasn’t just a number; it was a commitment to bridging the digital divide in a nation where telecommunications access was starkly uneven. In just a decade, we didn’t just meet this target—we exceeded it by a third. But we didn’t take the easy road. Instead of focusing on urban areas, we also reached out to underserved communities, many historically marginalised and deprived of basic services. This was the first spark of our unwavering belief that- “everyone deserves the benefits of a modern, connected life." Today, we consider access to internet-quality network, rather than just the voice network, the more meaningful measure of our progress. At the end of 2023, our broadband network covered nearly 90% of the population in our markets, equating to some 559 million people. This is a far cry from when we started out 30 years ago.
