South African National Parks (SANParks) announced last week that had appointed Hapiloe Sello as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), making her the first female CEO since the body’s establishment in 1926.
SANParks is mandated with the management of the national parks system. Pam Yako, chairperson of the SANParks Board, said the Board was delighted to appoint a leader of Sello's calibre to the role as she had a deep-rooted knowledge of the interconnectedness of conservation, tourism and people. Sello joined SANParks in 2015 as its Managing Executive for Tourism Development and Marketing and, amongst other roles, acted as SANParks CEO from June to November 2022. As ME Tourism she spearheaded the implementation of the organisation's commercialisation strategy and implemented several tourism products, events and strategic partnerships which have helped bring in the necessary resources for the SANParks. Yako said the appointment was a significant step forward for transformation and women empowerment in the sector.
