CARTOON | Tourism SA zero, Tottenham Hotspur R1bnTourism SA acting CEO Themba Khumalo tried to defend the entity's R1bn sponsorship deal with English Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur but the explanation still left some with a bitter taste. He must go A billion Rand would directly pay for the tickets of 80,000 tourists to fly from the UK. Fat chance a sleeve advert will entice more people than that. Of course even 80k would have to spend a huge amount in SA to even break even. Absurd deal, set up only for the 30m kickback.

SPURSGATE: How SA Tourism CFO lied about links to Tottenham Hotspur sponsorship ‘activation’ agencySA Tourism’s interim CFO Johan van der Walt misrepresented his ties to the agency that was set to be used to activate the R1-billion Tottenham Hotspur sponsorship deal, Daily Maverick can reveal.
