Since then, South Africa has managed to forge a constitutional democracy, thereby ushering a new form of governance in the country, which is anchored by the commitment to enhance the potential of all our people, while also integrating us into the community of the World as an equal partner. </p> <p>South Africa and Spain continue to share a close and vibrant relationship that is premised on the strength of both countries’ democratic systems and strong economic bilateral relations. On the international front both countries are members of various global bodies, such as G-20, based on our commitment towards multilateralism to resolve global challenges. </p> <p>This website is but a small window into South Africa which we have on occasions referred to as ‘<em>A World in One Country’</em>. While learning about our beautiful country through this site, you will also find useful links to other websites providing specific information on trade, investment opportunities, tourism information, and on our government in general. Perhaps we might interest you enough to consider paying a visit to our country and allowing us to welcome you to our shores. </p> <p>For any suggestions that you may have about this website or any matters that you may wish us to take note of, please send your message to <a href="mailto:madrid.embassy@dirco.gov.za">madrid.embassy@dirco.gov.za</a> and we shall get back to you.</p> <p>Thank you! </p> <p>Ambassador Sankie Mthembi-Mahanyele</p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td class="galleryhead"> </td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td width="1600%"><p><strong>The Embassy wishes to inform members of the public that the telephone lines at the South African Embassy in Madrid, Spain are not functional.</strong></p> <p><strong>Les Informamos desde la embajada que nuestras lineas telefonicas no funcionan.</strong></p> <p><strong>The public is requested to contact the Embassy on the following email addresses.</strong></p> <p><strong>Rogamos nos escriban un correo a:</strong></p> <p><strong><a href="mailto:Madrid.dha@dirco.gov.za">Madrid.dha@dirco.gov.za</a> 聽(for all consular related issues)</strong><br /> <strong><a href="mailto:Madrid.embassy@dirco.gov.za">Madrid.embassy@dirco.gov.za</a> (for all other queries)</strong></p> <p><strong>Officials can be reached on the following mobile numbers (+34)</strong><br /> <br /> <strong>Se puede contractor a nuestros oficiales en los siguientes numeros.</strong></p> <p><strong>Administration and Consular (Dept Consular) </strong></p> <p><strong>Ms Ole Khoza 677 53 51 46</strong><br /> <strong>Ms Daphney Mohlala 672 66 32 04</strong></p> <p><strong>Political Desk (Dept Politico)</strong></p> <p><strong>Mr Martin Malan 聽615 61 45 43</strong><br /> <strong>Ms Makwatse Mokgethi 615 61 45 49</strong></p></td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td class="galleryhead"> </td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td width="1600%"><table width="460" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="454"><a href="documents/2024/south_african_rugby_sevens_madrid_english.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="images/2024/sa_rugby_sevens_english.jpg" width="458" height="349" alt=""/></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td class="galleryhead"> </td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td colspan="2"><table width="460" border="1" align="center"> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong><u>Important notice for Individuals receiving Pensions from South Africa</u></strong> <br />                 <br /> Please find attached <strong><a href="documents/2021/november_2021/letter_of_increase_to_dirco_2021.pdf" target="_blank">important correspondence</a></strong> concerning your pension which has just been received from the South African Department of Labour. Please also find attached the <a href="documents/2021/november_2021/w_ac_22_form_2021.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>Form</strong></a> mentioned in the correspondence.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td class="galleryhead"> </td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td colspan="2"><table width="465" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><p>For any enquiries please send an email to <a href="mailto:madrid.embassy@dirco.gov.za">madrid.embassy@dirco.gov.za</a></p> <p>Para contactar con nosotros env铆a un correo a <a href="mailto:madrid.embassy@dirco.gov.za">madrid.embassy@dirco.gov.za</a></p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td class="galleryhead"> </td> </tr> <tr align="left"> <td colspan="2"><table width="465" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">COVID-19 regulations are modified on a monthly basis.
