South African Tourism has announced the resignation of marketing and communications manager, Janaya Birse from the Sydney office, effective January 29, 2010.

Birse joined South African Tourism in 2004, initially working to establish and build relationships with trade before moving to a marketing and communications manager position as interest in travel to South Africa increased in the Australian and New Zealand markets.

“We are saddened to see Janaya go, as she has been an integral part of the South African Tourism team over the past six years,” said South Africa Tourism Australasia’s general manager, Bangu Masisi.

Recruitment processes are underway to fill the position in the Sydney office.
