MTN condemns recent xenophobic attacks on Ghanaians in South Africa
Dr Yamson stated that this is despicable act, which has been condemned by the Group Chairman of MTN , and “let’s me take this opportunity to state our position of MTN Ghana, we don’t support it any way and we condemned of its highest order”.
MTN Ghana's Chairman, Dr. Ishmael Yamson, has strongly condemned the recent xenophobic attacks on Ghanaians in South Africa. The telecom company issued a statement expressing their utter disapproval of the acts, which resulted in the deaths of two Ghanaians. Dr. Yamson emphasized that MTN Ghana does not support these actions and denounced them in the strongest terms.
The company had initially refrained from condemning the attacks as they were working through the South African Chamber of Commerce in Ghana, which had previously made a statement on the matter. Dr. Yamson pointed out that the company employs over 98% Ghanaians and has more than 120,000 Ghanaians as shareholders, with a majority being American shareholders.
He clarified that this issue is not related to MTN being headquartered in South Africa, and stressed that South Africa cannot claim to support free trade and integration while engaging in actions that hinder the movement of goods and people within the region.
