MTN CEO Ralph Mupita has been cleared of an allegation of giving preferential treatment to an unnamed female executive after an investigation by an independent law firm.
The misconduct allegations, filed by an anonymous complainant, made headlines earlier this week and reportedly led to several members of the companys executive team threatening to resign.
One of the allegations was that Mupita transferred responsibilities of MTN South Africas CEO to the unnamed executive.
The investigation found no evidence of improper conduct, and attempts to engage with the complainant were unsuccessful, MTN said in a statement on Friday.
In its deliberations, the board accepted the report finding and is of the view that the matter has been addressed and is now closed. The board further expressed its full support for the Group Chief Executive Officer and the MTN strategy.
