This survey, compiled independently by Extel, is among the most globally respected measures of corporate performance in Investor Relations, reflecting the feedback of a wide spectrum of institutional investors, analysts and broader capital markets stakeholders.
MTN Group has once again been recognised for its leadership in capital markets stakeholder engagement at the 2025 Extel Europe & Emerging EMEA Equities Awards, for executive teams. This survey, compiled independently by Extel, is among the most globally respected measures of corporate performance in Investor Relations, reflecting the feedback of a wide spectrum of institutional investors, analysts and broader capital markets stakeholders.
The 2025 survey for Emerging EMEA specifically drew responses from over 460 voters, nominating 608 individuals from 304 companies. Overall, respondents were up by 14% from last year, with votes weighted across a wide set of performance attributes. These measures included management credibility and leadership, capital allocation, productivity of investor engagements, quality of investor events, granularity of disclosures and ESG metrics; underscoring the robustness of the results as a reflection of market sentiment and perceptions.
Against this rigorous benchmark, MTN was excited to be named Best Corporate in Investor Relations and Best Team in Investor Relations, in the Large Cap EMEA-TMT sector, with the Group also ranked first in the Most Honoured Companies category.
MTN was further distinguished within its sector, ranking first with stakeholders in the EMEA-TMT across eight award categories: Best Company Board, Best CEO – Ralph Mupita, Best CFO – Tsholofelo Molefe, Best Investor Relations Professional – Thato Motlanthe, Best Investor Relations Team, Best Investor Relations Program, Best Investor/Analyst Event and Best ESG Program.
“The work to safeguard and enhance MTN’s reputation with our capital markets stakeholders is a major priority for us. We are humbled by this recognition and grateful to investors and analysts for their continued engagement. These awards are a testament to the hard work of our Investor Relations team and the collaboration across MTN to ensure that we communicate openly, consistently and with integrity. We remain committed to strengthening trust through financial discipline, transparent reporting and constructive dialogue with all our stakeholders.”
– Tsholofelo Molefe, Chief Financial Officer, MTN Group
“The scope and scale of the Extel survey make the recognition especially meaningful. It is shared with the colleagues across the organisation that we work with every day, and we are deeply appreciative of the confidence placed in MTN by the investment community. We will continue to focus on providing clear and timely insights, while listening closely to the perspectives of our stakeholders, as we work to build enduring relationships that support MTN’s long-term success.”
