Consulate of Greece in Cape Town

Ο εορτασμός της ιεράς μνήμης του Αγίου Νεκταρίου Αιγίνης από την Ελληνική Κοινότητα Νοτιωτέρου Ακρωτηρίου (Τζωρτζ). The commemoration of St. Nektarios by the Hellenic Community of the Southern Cape (George) in the presence of Archbishop Sergios and Consul Demestihas.

It was great to meet the Leader of the Official Opposition at the @WCProvParl together with the #EU colleagues. Thank you so much, @MKhalidSayed, for your time and our insightful discussion. The partnership between the 🇪🇺, its Member States, and 🇿🇦 is going strong!

In commemoration of OXI Day, the Consulate will not operate on Tuesday October 28, 2025.
