MTN Group Ltd. Executive Chairman Phuthuma Nhleko is continuing in his role as leader of the wireless company past the May 9 expiration of his initial contract, as he’s still working on the dual tasks of recruiting a new chief executive officer and resolving a record fine in Nigeria.

“The board gave Nhleko a mandate and he will continue as executive chairman until this mandate has been fulfilled,” MTN spokesman Chris Maroleng said by phone on Wednesday.
