Voices From Sa

Sisa Ntshona was appointed CEO of SA Tourism two years ago and he is a man with a mission. After a number of years in the banking sector Sisa was looking for a new challenge, and a way to contribute to the growth and success of South Africa. Sisa grew up in Alice in the Eastern Cape and then studied accounting at UCT in the early 1990,s. We chatted about his career in banking and his eventual disillusionment with the industry that led to his new path. Sisa and I chatted about the challenges and opportunities of tourism in South Africa, from overcoming historical legacies locally, to changing negative perceptions internationally.
