Premier Mtshweni-Tsipane on an outbound mission to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam

14 August 2023

Mpumalanga Premier, Ms Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane has embarked on an outbound mission to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The diplomatic visit is a direct result of the extensive deliberations within the Joint Trade Committee aimed at enhancing the bilateral relations between South Africa and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

The excursion will also serve as a platform to explore the economic opportunities for women within the agricultural value chain in the Mpumalanga Province. Premier Mtshweni-Tsipane is accompanied by MEC Thandi Shongwe of Culture, Sport and Recreation.

Ms Mtshweni-Tsipane has appointed MEC for Social Development, Ms Lindiwe Ntshalintshali to serve as the acting Premier, with effect from 13 to 19 August 2023. The acting Premier took an oath of office earlier today, administered by Judge President of the Mpumalanga High court, Justice Francis Legodi.
