South Africa's Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille dissolved the SA Tourism Board citing governance failures and alleged unlawful conduct. The dissolved board has denied any wrongdoing. The Chartered Governance Institute of Southern Africa (CGISA) criticized the dissolution, warning that sidelining the board undermines governance principles and accountability. Following the dissolution, de Lille appointed an interim team to lead SA Tourism, with Dr. Mzamo Masito as chairperson and Kholeka Zama as deputy chairperson. The minister's spokesperson indicated that a process to appoint a permanent board will be announced in the coming weeks. Separately, government departments have issued warnings about fake job offers targeting young South African women on social media, particularly offers purportedly from Russia. The Minister for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Sindisiwe Chikunga, addressed concerns about these scams, urging caution. Additionally, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana appointed Stadi Mngomezulu as acting CEO following delays in investigating alleged corruption.
