Makgabo quits 2010 committee

“We have accepted Tumi's resignation. She has made a sterling contribution to the Organising Committee and we wish her well in her future endeavors,” said the OC's CEO, Danny Jordaan in a terse statement.

Makgabo has been a broadcaster for over a decade and was previously the host of CNN's Inside Africa programme.

“I have enjoyed working with the Organising Committee and believe the 2010 FIFA World Cup will be a resounding success. I am, however, looking forward to focusing on the other projects I have been involved in,” said Makgabo.
