Having a business representative in South Africa is key to the Island's economic growth.
That's according to Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston, who faced a question in Tynwald about the job from Onchan MHK Julie Edge.
The role in Johannesburg carries a salary of £20,000 for at least two days a week, and Mr Johnston revealed they'd held more than 200 meetings in the past year.
