U.S. Mission to South Africa Grants

The U.S. Mission to South Africa includes approximately 310 U.S. and 560 locally engaged staff employed by 28 U.S. Government departments and agencies. In addition to the Embassy in Pretoria, there are Consulates in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.

Many U.S. Government departments, such as the Foreign Commercial Service, the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, Overseas Foreign Disaster Assistance and Food for Peace have based their regional operations in South Africa, reflecting the facilities and services available in South Africa.

The United States' strong trade and business partnerships with South Africa are hallmarks for the continent. In 2010, the United States was the third largest trading partner for South Africa, after Germany and China. Also in 2010, South African exports to the U.S. totaled R57.4 billion.
