South African Diplomat Visits The Times Kuwait Office

Chargé d’Affaires at the Embassy of South Africa, Busisiwe Mpungose, paid a courtesy visit to The Times Kuwait office last week, where she was warmly received by Executive Managing Editor Reaven D’Souza.

During the meeting, Ms. Mpungose spoke about the strong and steadily growing ties between South Africa and Kuwait. She also emphasized the importance of the upcoming G20 Summit, which South Africa will host for the first time on African soil.

The summit, set to take place in Johannesburg from 22–23 November, marks a historic milestone in the country’s global diplomatic engagement.

The discussion also touched on several areas of mutual interest, including strengthening economic and trade relations between the two nations. The South African diplomat highlighted her country as a premier tourism destination, particularly, as it could appeal to Kuwait residents seeking cooler climates during the peak of summer.

Commending The Times Kuwait for its professionalism and quality journalism, Ms. Mpungose said the publication remains a valuable source of information for the diplomatic community and local readers alike.

She also expressed her appreciation to The Times Kuwait team for their continued support of the South African Embassy’s initiatives and for helping to promote and strengthen bilateral ties between South Africa and Kuwait.
