 David Maynier, Western Cape Minister of Finance and Economic Opportunities, said: “We welcome Margie to the Wesgro team. I’m confident her wealth of experience will be invaluable as we continue to promote Cape Town and the Western Cape as a top destination for investment and tourism.”

“Margie will bring a wide range of expertise to the promotion of the sector,” said Wesgro CEO, Tim Harris, adding that Whitehouse’s connectivity would ensure collaboration between all levels of government and the tourism industry.
