Tourism minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubani has told parliament that she will not drop her policy agenda to transform the predominantly white-owned tourism industry.

She was speaking in defence of the financial relief provided by her department only to black-owned companies in the face of a court challenge by AfriForum and trade union Solidarity.

Groenewald argued that it was not only black-owned businesses that suffered financial losses. According to Groenewald, every entrepreneur in tourism must have access to the R1.2bn relief through the Tourism Equity Fund, as well as further millions in the Tourism Transformation Fund. “Now is the time that entrepreneurship must be promoted and not ANC propaganda. It is time to create job opportunities not to limit them by cadre stealing and relief provided not contributing to the market.

“The TF [Transformation Fund] is meant to change this landscape and I think we all need to commit to the transformation of the tourism sector.”As a woman herself, it was prudent, she said, to change this with the little power that she has.

There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about gregsonharry1...it has been a pleasure collaborating with you...there is no other way I can show my appreciation other than tweeting the good deed you have done.

The anc would rather destroy the industry than allow white South Africans benefit from their entrepreneurship and investments. Maybe they should get the Cubans to run the tourism industry. Destruction of anything that works well is anc policy nowadays.

When it works, find ways and excuses to fuck it up = ANC

Dolores Umbridge. 💅

😂. What tourism industry?
