It has been a few weeks since the announcement, and Ferdi Moolman probably has a lot to clear off his desk before he starts his new job as CEO of MTN South Africa on 1 November 2025.

Ferdi’s journey – from steering MTN Nigeria through regulatory headwinds to his current role as Group Chief Risk Officer – speaks volumes about his leadership, resilience, and strategic vision.

We’re especially inspired by his ability to balance boardroom brilliance with a passion for live music and student culture (Ferdi has a stake in the well-known Aandklas). This kind of energy and versatility is exactly what excites us about African business – it’s a real-world family affair.

Ferdi, we wish you every success as you take the helm at MTN SA. We’re excited to see you shape the next chapter of innovation and growth.
