He previously served as key account manager at Ericsson and was part of the company’s South African leadership team, which he joined in December 2024.

According to Majda Lahlou Kassi, head of Ericsson West and Southern Africa, Ngxola’s appointment reflects the company’s local strategy.

“Siseko has been a dedicated and critical part of our local leadership team for the past few years. His professionalism, expertise, and customer intimacy make him the ideal person to drive our vision for a more connected South Africa,” she says.

Ngxola takes over the role following the departure of his predecessor, with a mandate to lead the company through a period of continued digital transformation in the country.

“I am honoured to lead Ericsson in South Africa during such an exciting time,” he says. “The power of connectivity to transform lives and industries has never been more apparent.”

The appointment comes as telecoms operators and technology providers continue to invest in network infrastructure and digital services to support South Africa’s connectivity and economic growth.
