Mupita has served as MTN Group CFO since April 2017, playing a critical role in the development and execution of the group’s strategy, capital allocation processes, financial performance, as well as in the resolution of a number of complex regulatory matters.   

“Ralph’s experience as the group CFO, strong knowledge of our businesses and markets, as well as successful background in financial services, mergers and acquisitions and emerging markets, place him in an excellent position to lead the growth and sustainability of the business going forward,” Jonas commented.

Mupita, who is a graduate of the University of Cape Town with a degree in Engineering and an MBA, was previously Old Mutual Emerging Markets CEO.
