In 2025, MTN South Africa’s total tax contribution (TTC) to the national fiscus was R4.8 billion, the MTN Group’s Tax Transparency Report shows. This extends beyond the corporate income taxes we paid to SARS and includes indirect taxes, operating licence fees and levies, payroll taxes, withholding taxes and dividends taxes.
MTN SA’s TTC supports the government in serving citizens, allowing it to invest in infrastructure – from schools and hospitals to roads and ports – and provide services – including those in health and education – and enhance economic development.
As South Africa advances its development and digital transformation goals, MTN remains committed to responsible partnership, supporting national development and fostering a more inclusive, prosperous future for all.
“MTN’s tax contribution reflects our commitment to operating responsibly and contributing meaningfully to the country’s economic development. Beyond connecting millions of South Africans, we are proud to play a role in supporting the public resources that enable growth, service delivery and national progress,” says MTN.
Also, in 2025 MTN sustained our investment in our infrastructure and to enhance the quality, coverage and capacity of our networks and platforms. We deployed capex in South Africa of R8.4 billion (on an IFRS 16 reported basis) or R6.8 billion excluding leases.
The MTN Group 2025 Integrated Report shows that MTN SA served 40.6 million subscribers in South Africa – a country of more than 63 million. At the same time, the total MTN workforce in South Africa was 4 727, according to the MTN Group People Report.
Both MTN Group and MTN South Africa are Level 1 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment contributors.
