Desinformation aims to undermine trust on democratic institutions. We need to tackle it together with partners.
Andrade-Hartman, we need government to remain calm, to set stage with framework, with regulation and funding. @moxiiafrica @GermanyInsa @goethejoburg #MFF2026 @mediauj @PrinolaG @LiezleWilson

🌊 ReNOKA means “We are a river" in SeSotho. During my travel to 🇱🇸, I visited the Makhalaleng Dam to see first-hand how #ReNOKA is working with the Government of Lesotho to protect one of the country’s most valuable resources: water. 💧#GermanyMeetsLesotho #WaterSecurity

🇿🇦 Celebrating the people, cultures and traditions of South Africa!
On #HeritageDay, we celebrate the incredible diversity that makes Mzansi so special, its many languages, traditions, stories, music, food and cultures.
Glad to have this diversity in our Embassy, too!

🇩🇪🤝🇿🇦 It has been an important few weeks for our business relations:
High-level delegations, major business engagements and discussions on green industrialisation;
all point in the same direction: our economic partnership is broad, deep, and moving forward.

50 Days since my arrival...🛫 I am already loving #MzansiVibes.
...still glamping (Container still off the coast of West Africa)
...but already feeling very much at home.🏡
In the next days I will share a few impressions of my first experiences.
