"Honoring a Nature Guide": remuneration acknowledges the departed co-founder Phumlani Moholi

In a touching tribute, the current chairman of Rain, Paul Harris, has paid homage to the late Phumlani "Phums" Moholi, a co-founder and a significant figure in the telecommunications industry.

Moholi, who passed away recently, is remembered for his remarkable contributions to advancing telecommunications technology and infrastructure, particularly in South Africa.

As a co-founder of Rain, Moholi played a pivotal role in shaping the strategy and spirit of the company. His fair and rational decision-making, coupled with his vast experience and wisdom, brought calm guidance to the Rain team.

Moholi's words carried weight and guided with insight and a steady, balanced perspective. He is remembered as a mentor by Rain, a friend, and a colleague who was admired, respected, and loved by all who knew him in the telecommunications industry.

Before his tenure at Rain, Moholi held the position of Chairman at the company. Prior to that, he served as the CEO of Telkom South Africa, the country’s largest telecommunications provider, where he made significant strides in expanding network coverage, improving service quality, and driving innovation in digital communication services.

Moholi's leadership at Telkom helped steer the telecommunications sector during periods of rapid technological change, modernizing networks and promoting greater connectivity and access to telecommunications services in the region. His work contributed to the growth and transformation of the telecommunications landscape in South Africa, impacting economic development and digital inclusion.

While the cause of Moholi's death is not publicly disclosed, his absence leaves a significant void in the telecommunications industry. His legacy, however, continues to inspire and guide those who were fortunate enough to have worked with him.
