WELCOME MESSAGE


I would like to extend my greetings and heartfelt gratitude to all South Africans, tourists, traders and investors, as well as friends and future friends of South Africa, who hold the country in high esteem. It is through these relationships that South Africa has become a prominent global player in various fields. South Africa is currently considered worldwide as a thriving economy with a range of opportunities for trade, investment and tourism.

The website is therefore aimed at updating various stakeholders about current developments and opportunities and also about services that the Mission provides to the broader community.

I arrived in December 2005 as South Africa’s first Consul General to serve Dubai and the Northern Emirates. It is my firm belief that the full range and potential of trade, investment and tourism opportunities between South Africa and the UAE have yet to be exploited. The Mission is geared to facilitate various existing opportunities in this regard. These opportunities include those related to South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup.

To the vibrant and growing South African community in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, the Mission values the many opportunities to interact with you, especially through the Warden System and the South African Family Day which commemorates Freedom Day. The latter has also become popular with the local community.

As a Mission we embrace the “Batho Pele” principle, which means “People First”. We therefore strive for excellence in service delivery and would therefore welcome your questions, comments and suggestions.

Consul General – Dubai and Northern Emirates
