She has gained extensive experience in Marketing Operations, Brand Management, Communications, Stakeholder Management and Media Relations. She has held various leadership positions in the tourism sector including her role as Global Manager: Business Tourism when she was previously at SA Tourism between 2008 and 2012 before joining the City of Tshwane as Strategic Executive Director Communications, Marketing & Events.

I wish her every success in her new role at SA Tourism,” said Acting Chief Executive Officer, Themba Khumalo.

“The time to re-engineer the global positioning of South Africa and the rest of the African continent has come, and should be led by SA Tourism. It is time for the re-birth of the industry and the recalibration of the people in the sector and I am looking forward to being a part of this,” said Ndlovu.
