As Sisa Ntshona’s five-year contract expires on September 30, SA Tourism has started the recruitment process for a new CEO.

This was confirmed today (January 13) in a letter sent to SA Tourism management by Board Chairperson, Siyabonga Dube.

In the letter, sent to Tourism Update anonymously, Dube highlights that Ntshona himself is not precluded from applying.

He added that the Board would procure the services of an executive headhunter to assist in the recruitment process, which Dube said would be an “open and transparent process”.
