Her Excellency Fatoumatta Jahumpa Ceesay

Settles To Work In South Africa

Gambia’s Ambassador to South Africa, Her Excellency Fatoumatta Jahumpa Ceesay, has settled in to work as the country’s top diplomat in South Africa since her resumption in November 2022. She has familiarized herself with her new working environment, getting to know her staff, the country in general, and the neighboring countries that her new assignment covers.

It is an enormous responsibility, which the new diplomat is committed to delivering to the best of her God-given abilities with the support of her people in South Africa.

She is a former Speaker of the Gambia National Assembly, served on the ECOWAS parliament, and went into private business and charitable works before her appointment as The Gambia’s Ambassador to South Africa.

Madam Jahumpa Ceesay will also oversee Gambian matters in the surrounding southern African nations.

Ambassador Jahumpa-Ceesay has also recently been appointed General Secretary of the APRC. According to her, her priority now is to work for the betterment of the president and her country as their representative in South Africa. “Our goal is to make South Africa a strategic partner in terms of business and investment drive towards the development of the Gambia.”

“I would make my country once again a choice destination for South Africans and others within my coverage zone to invite the Gambia for business and leisure; we have it all in the Gambia,” she concludes.

Wishing Her Excellency, Ambassador Jahumpa Ceesay, a successful tenure as Ambassador in South Africa.
