Acting South African Tourism CFO Johan van der Walt has not responded to a notice of suspension served on him last week.
This is according to SA Tourism Board chairperson Thozamile Botha, who said on Tuesday Van der Walt was served with a notice asking him why he should not be suspended after preliminary investigations which suggested he did not declare his conflict of interest or recuse himself from meetings discussing the sponsorship deal with English team Tottenham Hotspur.
Botha said on Tuesday the deadline was on Monday, and the last time he spoke to SA Tourism he had not heard whether Van der Walt had responded.Daily Maverick reported Van der Walt had links to an agency that would receive a £1.5m fee to “activate” the sponsorship. Van der Walt told the website he had no financial interest in the agency, WWP Group, but he had done consulting work for it, mainly on tax matters.
