MTN revealed that its revenue increased to R207 billion in 2022 vs R181.6 billion in 2021 and profit of R19.3 billion R13.8 billion in 2021.

“Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing on our Ambition 2025 strategy and maintain our guidance for performance over the next three to five years, despite elevated macroeconomic risks in South Africa and Nigeria,” MTN Group CEO said.
