Telecommunications group MTN South Africa and the North West government have strengthened their partnership following engagements this week among the company’s executive committee, led by deputy CEO Yolanda Cuba, and North West Premier Lazarus Kagiso Mokgosi and members of the provincial executive.
The meeting provided an opportunity for both parties to discuss areas of collaboration that will support the province's development priorities, including digital infrastructure, education, youth empowerment, economic participation and improved access to reliable connectivity – all of which are key enablers of the National Development Plan Vision 2030.
“Strong partnerships between the public and private sectors are essential in driving inclusive growth and ensuring that the benefits of the digital economy reach every community. Our visit to the North West is an opportunity to listen, collaborate and identify practical ways in which MTN can continue supporting the province's development ambitions.”
The engagement also reinforces MTN South Africa's continued investment in the North West.
In 2026, the company committed more than R150-million towards upgrading and expanding its network infrastructure across the province.
