South African telecommunications giant MTN Group president and CEO Ralph Mupita has been elected as GSMA deputy chairperson, serving until the end of 2026.

Mupita will support GSMA chairperson Gopal Vittal and the board in overseeing the strategic direction of the organisation, which represents the world’s mobile operators and companies in the broader mobile ecosystem.

“My warmest congratulations to Mupita on being elected as the deputy chair of the GSMA board. His experience will be invaluable as we continue to navigate the dynamic landscape of our industry. I look forward to working closely with him and the board,” said GSMA director-general Vivek Badrinath.

“This appointment is a great honour as it comes at a time of rapid developments in technology and increasing digital adoption across Africa. Mobile technology will play a critical part in addressing the pressing challenges facing our communities and unlocking the full potential of Africa and the rest of the Global South, ensuring that no one is left behind in this journey toward a more connected future,” Mupita said.

“I am committed to supporting the strategic direction of the GSMA, which plays a pivotal role in representing the global mobile ecosystem. Together, we will continue to drive innovation and positive change in the industry,” he added.

Mupita is MTN Group president and CEO, a position he has held since September 2020, after previously serving as MTN Group CFO from April 2017.

Since joining MTN, he has helped strengthen the group’s financial position and strategy formulation and overseen the successful listing of MTN subsidiaries in Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda and Uganda.
