MTN Group President and
Chief Executive Officer Ralph Mupita has hosted Discovery Limited founder and
chief executive Adrian Gore at MTN’s headquarters in South Africa for
discussions on artificial intelligence, leadership principles and the country’s
ambition to achieve 3% gross domestic product (GDP) growth.
Mupita said he had the
“pleasure and privilege” of hosting Gore at the MTN headquarters at the 14th
Avenue Innovation Centre.
The meeting brought together
leaders of two companies whose origins date back to the early years of South
Africa’s transition to democracy.
Discovery Limited started
operations in 1992, two years before MTN began operating, Mupita said, noting
that the origins of both companies coincided with the “birth and dawn of the
democracy of South Africa.”
In reflecting on the
meeting, Mupita thanked Gore for what he described as an “awesome conversation”
on The Four Principles, artificial intelligence and South Africa’s ambition to
achieve 3% GDP growth.
