DIRCO never confirmed the departure of Ambassador Gwadiso

The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) has noted with regret and dismay of yesterday’s media report by City Press misrepresenting the department’s position with regard to the departure of Ambassador Gwadiso to Rwanda. The department would like to categorically clarify that the Ambassador of South Africa to Rwanda is still in South Africa and we still have to finalise as to when he will return to Rwanda.

For further information please contact Chief Director for Public Diplomacy Mr Saul K. Molobi on +27 82 940 1647, +27 12 351 0083 or email him at molobisk@dirco.gov.za.
