Making Impact With Diplomacy: South African High Commissioner to Ghana Grace Jeanet Mason

For most diplomats, service means everything.

Such is the case of new South African High Commissioner to Ghana Her Excellency Grace Jeanet Mason, who has been hailed for her exceptional start as a representative of her country in Ghana.
She has been busy. After first visiting the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House, she set off on a fact-finding trip across Ghana.
She has so far met with the Asanthene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in Kumasi, traditional leaders in the Northern region and toured different facilities in some industrial zones including Tema.
To celebrate the unity sport and culture brings and the strong relationship between Ghana and South Africa, the High Commissioner arranged a live football viewing session at the High Commission residence, where guests were treated to the Afcon Qualifier between South Africa and Ghana. Amongst the invitees were Ghanaian icon and World Bank’s Climate Change Ambassador, Okyeame Kwame, finance guru Duke Essiam,  UN Ambassador and Glitz founder Claduia Lumor, Businessman Kwabena Kufuor and singing sensation Adina Thembi, who as half Ghanaian, half South African.
She has also visited The Kaya Children Day Center in Madina which is a home for young children from 3 years old. Created 10 years ago by Mama Evelyn, a South African woman and her Ghanaian Husband, the children at the home are mainly that of market women and lack the proper education and daycare as their mothers work many hours a day. A free breast cancer screening for the mothers was also held after a donation of food products and other provisions to last for the whole easter period and beyond. Accompanying the High Commissioner and her Staff was Ghana’s Ambassador for Tourism, Arts & Culture to South Africa, Matthew Mensah.
The dynamic and friendly High Commissioner has certainly won the heart of most locals.
The High Commissioner intends to use her time here to empower women, promote youth and culture and to also strengthen the already close ties between Ghana and South Africa.

Accra Metropolitan University Lauds Lady Who Makes Plastics with Sugarcane Fibre

Published

on

Accra Metropolitan University (Accra Met) has publicly commended a young Ghanaian innovator who is transforming the fight against plastic pollution by producing biodegradable plastics from sugarcane fibre. Her groundbreaking work has caught national attention, including that of the President of the Republic, who recently expressed excitement about the innovation, especially in the context of discussions on a potential ban on single-use plastics.

The President, vocal about Ghana’s need to transition away from plastic dependency, highlighted how innovations like this align with broader goals of sustainability and environmental protection. He noted that such solutions not only support the agenda to restrict harmful plastics but also help reduce reliance on wood, thereby preserving Ghana’s forests and promoting ecological balance.

The President of the University, Professor Madam Goski Alabi, praised the innovator’s ingenuity, remarking that her work exemplifies the values Accra Met instills in its community.

“This is exactly the kind of innovation that defines our future,” said Prof. Goski. “As an institution deeply rooted in sustainable leadership, we are thrilled to see young Ghanaians addressing environmental challenges through creativity and science. She is not only helping the environment but also inspiring a new wave of sustainable entrepreneurs.”
