Moeketsi Mosola has resigned as CEO of S A Tourism, and Didi Moyle, the COO, will take over as acting CEO with immediate effect, reports TravelHub.
With just 15 months to go before World Cup 2010, Mosola’s departure appears unusual and is most unfortunate at the most crucial time of South Africa’s international marketing for what will be the biggest sport event it has ever hosted.
Mosola had served at the helm of S A Tourism for eight years, and was impressive for speaking his mind. He was critical of the industry when necessary.
The Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Marthinus van Schalkwyk, has accepted the resignation. The S A Tourism Board has thanked Mosola for his dedication and wished him well for his new journey ahead, which does not yet appear to have a destination.
