Siphiwe Nyanda Contact Details
No personal telephone number or mailbox is published for Siphiwe Nyanda, and this page carries none. He was appointed South Africa’s representative in Mozambique in 2020, and that posting is what most listings still attach to his name, but the mission’s own website now names a different head of mission. The South African High Commission in Maputo is on +258 21 243 000, and DIRCO in Pretoria is on 012 351 1000. We read this on dirco.gov.za and on the Maputo mission’s site on 25 September 2026.

The posting most listings still give him
Encyclopaedia entries and directory profiles describe General Siphiwe Nyanda as South Africa’s serving high commissioner to Mozambique, a posting he took up in 2020.
The mission’s own website tells a different story. It names HE Dr JT Pitswane as Head of Mission. A head of mission is one post held by one person at a time, so the entries naming Nyanda are describing something that has ended.
We cannot establish what he does now, and we are not going to guess. No current organisation publishes him as an office bearer, and that means there is no switchboard anywhere that will put you through to him. If your business is genuinely with the mission or with the department, the numbers above are the ones that work regardless of who holds the post.
He was previously Chief of the South African National Defence Force and Minister of Communications. Those offices ended long ago, and enquiries arising from either belong to the SANDF or to the relevant department rather than to him personally.
The consular address looks wrong and is not
DIRCO publishes the Maputo consular address as consular@tropical.co.mz. It ends in a commercial Mozambican domain rather than gov.za, which is the sort of thing that makes a careful person stop.
It is correct. The department lists that address itself on its own page of South African representation abroad. Missions abroad frequently run on local infrastructure, and an unfamiliar country domain on a mission address is normal rather than a warning sign. The mission’s website is likewise hosted on a Microsoft cloud address rather than on a gov.za one.
What the High Commission is actually for
Most people who reach a page like this are looking for help rather than for a person.
- A South African in difficulty in Mozambique, whether arrested, hospitalised, robbed or stranded, is consular work. Start with the mission on +258 21 243 000 or consular@tropical.co.mz.
- Out of hours, or if the mission cannot be reached, DIRCO runs a 24-hour Operations Centre in Pretoria on +27 12 351 1000 which it says serves the public at large.
- Travel documents, border questions and immigration have their own desks at the mission, including a separate fax line for immigration and civic affairs.
- Trade and investment goes to the economic section on +258 21 493 823 rather than through the main switchboard.
Have the traveller’s full name exactly as it appears in the passport, the passport number, where they are, and the name of any hospital, police station or official already involved.
Why no personal details appear here
A retired general and former minister is a private individual. The public offices he held came with switchboards; he did not keep them when the offices ended, and a directory that invents a replacement is not helping anybody.
Numbers and addresses for him are sold by contact broker sites. They are built from old government directories and guessed address patterns, they are usually wrong, and they were never offered to the public by him or by any organisation. We do not republish them, and we will not add them on request.
