Dissolved tourism board gets show of support from business sector
The business sector has expressed support for the disbanded SA Tourism (SAT) board fired by minister Patricia de Lille. 'The board had the right mix of expertise and leadership to help address instability in SAT,' the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) said on Thursday. After meetings with the board and the tourism ministry over the past 24 hours, the council said: 'The minister's decision to dissolve it is not aligned with the position we shared and raises serious concern in the sector. 'While we recognise government has cited governance challenges as part of its rationale — and we note the appointment and removal of the board is a prerogative of the minister — equally so, the dissolved board shared serious challenges it faced in executing its mandate. 'We believe the board had begun to bring stability and continuity when this was most needed. Industry stakeholders had confidence in its composition and we had seen encouraging signs of progress in strengthening SAT's credibility and focus.' Tshifhiwa Tshivhengwa, CEO of the TBCSA, said: 'We will remain a constructive partner to government but will also continue to advocate strongly for decisions that build, rather than destabilise, the sector.'

Tourism Month: Reminding South Africa that local travel is lekker
September 2025 marks the start of the annual Tourism Month, and this year's theme is 'Tourism and Sustainable Transformation'. Encouraging community, eco-friendliness, sustainable business, and more, Tourism Month is set to hold up a mirror showing us what we already have right here on our doorstep. This month will celebrate and shine a spotlight on sustainability not only within our communities but also in our natural environment. Tourism Month was here last year and the year before; in fact, it's been here since 2007. According to ATTA Travel, it first launched in Qunu, Eastern Cape, at the Nelson Mandela Museum, and the theme then was 'Tourism opens doors for women'. While it may seem like just another annual event evoking mixed responses from South Africans, it nonetheless seeks to support what our country so proudly stands for, which is keeping it local, and as the saying goes, 'lekker'. The media launch for Tourism Month was on 13 August at Sakhumzi Restaurant at Zoo Lake in Johannesburg and was opened by Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille. In an interview with SABC News , de Lille shared about the importance of economic growth and diversifying tourism offerings by focusing on 'hidden gems', the smaller towns and townships, which will attract a wider variety of tourists. It also moves beyond the more 'iconic' experiences like safaris, for example, as de Lille shared in the interview. Thandubuhle Mgudlwa, the CEO of the Johannesburg Tourism Company, shared more about the 'hidden treasures' in Johannesburg and repackaging and promoting them to 'gain a competitive edge'. Additionally, focusing on the 'identity' of the city and what it's known for, for example, mining, transport, business, heritage, lifestyle, among others, to attract tourism and get ahead of competitors. Tourism Month will reportedly come full circle on World Tourism Day on 27 September, where it all began almost 30 years ago in the Eastern Cape. Various events are planned to take place to showcase our country, from sports to cultural events. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 11.

Patricia de Lille dissolves board of SA Tourism
South Africa's Minister of Tourism, Patricia de Lille, has dissolved the board of South African Tourism (SA Tourism) with immediate effect, citing unlawful conduct and governance failures linked to the recent suspension of the entity's CEO, Nombulelo Guliwe. This bold move follows the board's controversial resolution on 1 August 2025 to place Guliwe on precautionary suspension – a decision De Lille has ruled as procedurally invalid and ultra vires (beyond their legal powers). SA Tourism has recently been embroiled in scandal after allegations surfaced around a R100 million tender irregularly awarded to Pomme Express, a company accused of lacking credentials and providing misleading information to secure contracts for Meetings Africa 2025 and Africa's Travel Indaba 2025. The board's decision to suspend Guliwe – appointed in February 2024 following a rigorous recruitment process – came just days after these allegations gained public traction. In a formal letter sent to all board members on Tuesday night, De Lille cited key legal failings: The board lacked a chairperson (after Prof. Gregory Davids' resignation) and was not lawfully constituted to pass such a resolution. (after Prof. Gregory Davids' resignation) and was to pass such a resolution. The special board meeting where Guliwe was suspended was not properly convened in line with Section 18(2) and 18(3) of the Tourism Act No. 3 of 2014 . where Guliwe was suspended was not properly convened in line with of the . Only a board chairperson is legally empowered to call a special meeting, and no clarity was provided on who called the 1 August meeting. is legally empowered to call a special meeting, and no clarity was provided on who called the 1 August meeting. The board, created under Section 13 of the Tourism Act, failed to operate within its statutory limits and violated the principle of legality under the Constitution. 'The board acted prematurely, unlawfully and outside the scope of its powers,' said De Lille, confirming her decision under Section 16(1) and 16(3) of the Tourism Act. The now-dissolved board included: Judi Nwokedi Miller Matola Ikaneng Pilane Maija de Rijk-Uys Tumelo Selikane Ayanda Mazibuko Jonathan Gadiah Lawson Naidoo Rachel Nxele The Institute of Directors in South Africa (IoDSA) has expressed concern, noting the governance implications of De Lille's move. 'It is concerning if boards fear that fulfilling their duties could lead to their own dissolution,' said IoDSA CEO Parmi Natesan, who added that King IV guidelines affirm a board's right to appoint and, if necessary, suspend or remove a CEO – if done lawfully . Natesan emphasised that board charters do not override legislative statutes, but warned that political intervention could undermine effective governance if not handled carefully. De Lille confirmed that she will: Appoint an interim structure in accordance with Section 16(3)(b) of the Act in accordance with Section 16(3)(b) of the Act Initiate a new board recruitment process under Section 12(2) Meanwhile, the suspended CEO, Guliwe, remains in limbo as investigations into the tender scandal and board actions continue. This saga marks a major governance shakeup in a critical sector tasked with reviving tourism in the wake of economic downturn. Whether De Lille's decision is seen as accountability in action – or ministerial overreach – remains to be tested in both public opinion and legal forums.
