# Parliament’s Select Committee on Economic Development and Trade has welcomed Tourism minister Patricia de Lille’s decision to dissolve the SA Tourism board with immediate effect. According to the minister, the board exceeded its powers by appointing a board member to carry out some of the functions of the previous chairperson, professor Gregory Davids, who resigned in July. She described this as unlawful. Committee chairperson Sonja Boshoff says that when such decisions are made, they should always be aimed at improving governance within government entities.
