Clement Manyathela speaks to Lawson Naidoo, former SA Tourism board member, about a legal challenge brought by the recently dissolved board against Minister Patricia de Lille. The ousted members have filed an urgent application at the Pretoria High Court, seeking to overturn the minister’s decision to dissolve the board. They argue that the move undermines accountability and compromises the independence of statutory bodies — raising broader concerns about governance, political interference, and the stability of South Africa’s tourism sector. As tourism plays a key role in the country’s economic recovery, the court battle could have serious implications. Naidoo helps unpack what’s at stake for both the sector and for public institutions.
