Mcebisi Jonas, former Deputy Finance Minister, has been appointed Special Envoy to the United States of America by President Cyril Ramaphosa. This appointment comes after South Africa's ambassador to the US, Ebrahim Rasool, was expelled from America due to his insults directed at President Trump. As Special Envoy, Jonas will serve as the official representative of the President and the South African government, tasked with advancing diplomatic relations, leading negotiations, and promoting economic cooperation between the two nations.

Jonas brings extensive experience to this role, having served as Deputy Finance Minister from 2014 to 2017 and as Presidential Investment Envoy since 2018. In these capacities, he has developed strong skills in economic development, investment promotion, and diplomacy. Notably, Jonas has been instrumental in attracting investors to South Africa and promoting the country's economic interests abroad.



As Chairman of the MTN Group, Jonas has demonstrated his leadership and governance capabilities. His experience in the private sector will likely serve him well in his new role, particularly in engaging with US businesses and investors. The appointment of Jonas as Special Envoy is a strategic move by the South African government to repair strained relations with the US. Given the current geopolitical climate, effective diplomacy is crucial for advancing South Africa's interests and fostering economic cooperation. Jonas's extensive experience and skills position him well to navigate the complexities of US-South Africa relations and work towards strengthening bilateral ties.

In summary, Mcebisi Jonas's appointment as Special Envoy to the US reflects the South African government's commitment to improving relations with the US. With his background in finance, investment, and diplomacy, Jonas is well-equipped to promote South Africa's interests and enhance cooperation between the two nations.
