The tourism department's director-general was never informed of the proposed deal with English football club Tottenham Hotspur.Last month, MPs said SA Tourism's budget shouldn't be transferred, until its issues were resolved.
In a written parliamentary question, the DA's Manny de Freitas asked when Tharage was"first advised of the proposed sponsorship deal with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club". Tottenham finished eighth in the Premier League in the season which concluded last month, and did not qualify to compete in European competitions in the coming season.During her department's budget vote debate in the National Assembly last month, MPs had a go at De Lille about the three-member interim board she appointed for South African Tourism, to the extent that they want the department to transfer the allocated budget to the controversial entity only once its issues have been resolved.
