The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Brand South Africa, Thandi Tobias has debunk the news marking the round that the agency has been merged with South Africa Tourism.
Tobias in a statement said: “Brand South Africa has noted the continuous media coverage relating to a merger between Brand South Africa and South African Tourism. Brand South Africa would like to reiterate that, as far as we are aware, we are still a Schedule 3A public entity, registered as a trust in terms of the Trust Property Act No 57 of 1998 reporting to the Minister in the Presidency.
“We are tasked with the unique mandate to promote the country holistically as an investment, trade, tourism, and study destination.
“This is our position until we are formally advised by the Presidency.”
