MTN condemns recent xenophobic attacks on Ghanaians in South Africa

MTN Ghana has firmly condemned the recent xenophobic attacks on Ghanaians in South Africa, with Chairman Dr. Ishmael Yamson stating that the company does not support such acts. The attacks resulted in the deaths of two Ghanaians, a horrific incident that the telecom giant unequivocally denounces. According to Dr. Yamson, the company's stance is one of complete disassociation from the despicable acts and has been formally condemned by its group chairman.

MTN Ghana, which operates primarily with Ghanaians and has over 120,000 Ghanaian shareholders, firmly believes that this is an unfortunate situation that should not target South African companies in Ghana. Dr. Yamson emphasized that South Africa's location as a regional hub cannot be used as an excuse for such actions, as it undermines free trade and integration in the region.
