The former beauty queen will be staying near Midrand, South Africa following revelations that she had joined the African Union (AU) Agricultural arm as Agricultural Consultant.
Sesinyi confirmed the development when Showbiz contacted her for a comment. She, however, was not forthcoming with information about her employment details with the continental organ.
'I will be relocating to South Africa soon. The only thing that was holding me was my work and residents permits,' Sesinyi said.
A confident Sesinyi said her employment contract with the AU will be for five years. She said the experience she will get from the AU organ for agriculture has got the potential to open more doors for her.
Sesinyi added that while in South Africa, she will pursue other avenues aimed at her personal growth.
According to Motamma, her duties will include consulting with commercial farmers on the continent in order to improve food security.'I and my team's mandate is to develop new methods of agriculture.
We need to come up with farming methods that are suitable for the weather patterns that are associated with each region on the continent,' she said.
Meanwhile, Motamma has revealed that she has not reneged on her desire to empower refugees through forging a strong working relationship with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR).
The Master of Science (MSc) degree in Agricultural Engineering holder said her desire is to see refugees being integrated into societies.
Sesinyi said she wishes to cultivate an essence of self-reliance amongst refugees.'Refugees are people with different cultures and values rounded together.
Instead of governments donating to these people, refugees can come together and turn refugee camps into places of cultural tourism to generate funds for themselves,' Sesinyi said.
