MTN South Sudan has launched MTN Shabab Nation, a youth-focused community and lifestyle ecosystem designed to connect, empower and inspire young people across South Sudan.
The initiative was launched on 13 August 2026 in celebration of International Youth Day and brings together digital connectivity, education, entertainment, rewards and skills development.
Initially available to young people aged 15 to 25, Shabab Nation is designed to provide access to learning opportunities, entertainment, rewards, community engagement and personal development. The initiative comes as more than 70% of South Sudan’s population is under the age of 25.
Under the theme “Young. Bold. Unstoppable.”, members can access benefits including a free 100MB welcome bonus, additional weekly data through the Mixo Mixo promotion, extra 100MB Yello Sunday rewards, entertainment experiences and partner benefits.
The platform also provides learning resources covering personal growth, skills development and digital learning, with MTN planning to expand the ecosystem through partnerships, rewards, entertainment collaborations and community-driven initiatives.
MTN said the initiative forms part of its broader commitment to supporting young people in South Sudan with connectivity, knowledge and opportunities that can contribute to their personal development and the country’s social and economic growth.
