The sudden dissolution of the South African Tourism Board by Minister of Tourism Patricia de Lille has stirred a wave of concern and questions within the tourism sector and among government officials.<\/p>\n
Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Tourism, Ronalda Nalumango, has voiced her apprehensions regarding the minister’s abrupt decision which takes effect immediately.<\/p>\n
Reports circulating through various media outlets indicate that the minister rendered the board null and void after it allegedly overstepped its mandates.<\/p>\n
A point of contention appears to be the board\u2019s recent decision to appoint one of its members to perform some functions previously held by Professor Gregory Davids, who stepped down in July.<\/p>\n
Further complicating matters, it has been reported that the board convened a special meeting without the chairperson\u2019s invitation, purportedly contravening its own established charter.<\/p>\n
Nalumango announced that the committee will extend an invitation to Minister de Lille for a briefing on her rationale behind the board’s dissolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to hearing from her about this development, particularly in light of the committee\u2019s earlier engagement on her commitments to take South African Tourism to new heights when she marked 100 days since her appointment as minister,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
