According to local media, the South African tourism board is about to be disbanded due to backlash over a proposed sponsorship for Tottenham Spurs of the English Premier League.
Following a backlash, particularly from cash-strapped national sports federations and labor unions who felt the money would be better used elsewhere, the arrangement was canceled last month.
The three-year shirt sleeve sponsorship agreement had a $51 million estimated value.
Patricia de Lille, the tourism minister, is cited as saying, "In all the circumstances, I believe that good cause exists to dissolve the board and I shall do so officially through the government gazette on Friday, April 21, 2023."
