How much MTN bosses get paid

How much MTN bosses get paid MTN Group CEO Rob Shuter was paid R58.2-million in the 2019 financial year, a 35.7% increase on his total remuneration for 2018, but even these generous rewards were not enough to keep him — he announced on 11 March that he would step down in a year’s time.

He cited a lack of a proper reward system for loyal members, an aging leadership structure that suppresses young voices, and policies that continue to place financial burdens on low-income earners. In his words, these issues collectively mar...
