It is located at 15 Sussex Drive in the New Edinburgh neighbourhood of Ottawa. Directly across the street from the embassy is 24 Sussex Drive the official residence of the Prime Minister of Canada. East of the High Commission is 7 Rideau Gate, Canada's official guest house for visiting dignitaries. Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General of Canada is also nearby at 1 Sussex Drive. The building was constructed for James Stevenson, the Bank of Montreal's representative in Ottawa, in 1841. In 1867 it was purchased by Moss Kent Dickinson an industrialist and mayor of Ottawa. During the apartheid era the Embassy was the scene of frequent protests. When South Africa was temporarily outside the Commonwealth of Nations from 1961 to 1994, it was reduced to being only an Embassy and there was pressure to end diplomatic relations between the country. With the end of apartheid it was restored its status as a High Commission and the High Commission received its first black envoy, Billy Modise, in April 1995. A former leader of the African National Congress Youth Wing, Modise spent 31 years in exile after fleeing South Africa in 1960. The current High Commissioner is Sibongiseni Yvonnne Dlamini-Mntambo.[1] South Africa also has a Consulate General in Toronto. External links
