MTN Group has announced the reappointment of Charles Molapisi as group chief technology and information officer (GCTIO), effective 1 November 2025.
Charles, who previously served as CEO of MTN Group, returns to the GCTIO role with over 20 years of industry experience. His focus will be on strengthening MTN’s connectivity, digital infrastructure and fintech strategy execution and delivery.
“We are enhancing our positioning in the digital infrastructure business to better enable the exponential growth in digital workloads, as well as infusing AI across the business for value creation,” MTN Group said.
Ferdi Moolman, currently group risk chief officer, will step into the MTN Group CEO role.
MTN Group is also separating the GCTIO and digital infrastructure roles. Current GCTIO Mazen Mroué will transition to CEO of digital infrastructure.
In addition to his technology and IT expertise, Charles will drive the accelerated adoption of AI use cases across the business.
“These leadership changes illustrate the depth of talent and experience we have across the Group,” said MTN Group president and CEO, and 2019 CFO of the Year award winner, Ralph Mupita. “The changes will support the accelerated execution of our strategy beyond 2025, as well as greater value creation for stakeholders over the medium term.”
