South African Tourism has been questioned over two tourism deals with Trevor Noah and Siya Kolisi.
The Portfolio Committee on Tourism has questioned deals between the Department of Tourism with comedian and former Daily Show host Trevor Noah and rugby player Siya Kolisi.
The Chairperson of the Committee, Tandi Mahambehlala, also questioned Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille on several topics, including her announcement that the former Daily Show host will feature in a five-minute promotion video that will cost South Africans R33 million. However, Mahambehlala said that the Noah deal was similar to the recent controversial R1 billion Tottenham Hotspur marketing campaign and called on the entity not to pursue it any further.Trevor Noah and Tourism Minister De Lille in 2017
