Ousted SA Tourism board members file an urgent court application

# The ousted SA Tourism board members have filed an urgent application in the High Court in Pretoria to overturn Tourism minister Patricia de Lille’s decision to dissolve the structure. The minister has defended her decision to dissolve the board, citing unlawful conduct, procedural violations, and reckless financial management as grounds for intervention. In their court filing, the ousted board members argue that the minister’s actions undermine good governance, accountability, and the independence of statutory boards. They add that the current impasse threatens stability at SA Tourism.
