TimesLIVE reports that SA Tourism CEO Sisa Ntshona has been placed on "precautionary suspension" after the organisation received a tip-off on its anonymous reporting line.
Although details of the allegations were not provided, the SA Tourism Board said in a statement on Tuesday that it was "obligated to thoroughly investigate these allegations, in the best interest of all parties concerned". It said that in order to conduct a free and fair investigation, "the board has decided to place the CEO on precautionary suspension". This would allow the CEO to focus on responding to the allegations as well as guarantee the integrity and transparency of the process to be followed. Sthembiso Dlamini has been appointed acting CEO. Ntshona told Fin24 on Tuesday that he was surprised by the development and that he did not know what the allegations were that led to his suspension. The suspension comes at an inopportune time with the World Travel Market Africa taking place in Cape Town in just a few weeks’ time and Africa's Tourism Indaba to take place in Durban in May.
