The celebrations are hosted under the theme “30 Years of Impact” to underscore MTN’s three decades of connecting people, changing lives and driving socio-economic transformation across South Africa and the African continent.

This is embodied in the annual “21 Days of Y’ello Care” initiative, which is commemorated under the theme “Learn Today, Lead Tomorrow: Education for Rural and Remote Communities”. The initiative mobilises societies and MTN employees across the continent to dedicate their time and resources to reinstall hope through digital innovations, by enhancing educational and skills development opportunities, amongst others.  

The initiative also focuses on bridging the digital divide in rural and remote areas, by providing digital learning tools and supporting educational infrastructure to empower the next generation of leaders.

MTN’s 30-year journey is a testament to the transformative power of technology and the unwavering spirit of innovation.
