In her role at MTN, she provides leadership to many. When we sat down at the International Women's Forum South Africa (IWF-SA) Cornerstone Conference, she shared her perspectives on leadership, inclusion, and organisational culture.

“For me, leadership is about putting people at the centre of everything we do,” Cuba explains. “It is not just about results, it is about achieving results through people. When I say ‘I am because we are’, it is a collective call to get better together and ensure no one is left behind.” This philosophy guides MTN's strategic intent to deliver the benefits of a modern, connected life inclusively across Africa.
