The application, lodged on 3 September 2025, requests the court to declare the Minister’s decisions of 19 and 22 August 2025 unlawful, unconstitutional, and invalid, and to reinstate the dissolved Board under the provisions of the Tourism Act 3 of 2014.
In their legal filing, the former Board members argue that the Minister’s actions compromise good governance, accountability, and the independence of statutory boards. They warn that the decision could destabilise South African Tourism at a time when the sector is pivotal to economic recovery.
