According to the caller, the alleged incident happened on 6 and 7 December 2022. The allegations were then investigated by audit firm KPMG. SA Tourism chairperson Tim Harris reported: “As incoming board members, we are awaiting a full briefing from the acting Chief Audit Executive, including a report on the whistle-blower hotline.” Ndlovu replaced SA Tourism’s former acting CEO, Themba Khumalo, who resigned last week with immediate effect as the organisation’s chief marketing officer and acting CEO. Khumalo's resignation came adter the organisation was thrust into the spotlight over a R1 billion sponsorship deal with English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, which was slammed by the public in February.
