# The suspension of South African Tourism CEO Nombulelo Guliwe has cost taxpayers more than 6.18-million-rand, with her disciplinary case still unresolved after 15 months. Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille says the bill includes 3.64-million-rand in Guliwe’s salary, 1.78-million-rand in legal fees and more than 751-thousand-rand for an interim CEO. The disciplinary hearing concluded in May, but after an appeal, the matter has been referred to a new chairperson to consider a preliminary legal objection. The case centres on an alleged irregular 4.1-million-rand payment made while Guliwe was chief financial officer.
