Durban tourist safety boosted by TBCSA
On Tuesday, 12 May 2026, the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) handed over newly branded vehicles, quad bikes, and uniforms to the eThekwini Metro Police at the Durban Promenade. Leading the handover were TBCSA Chairman, Jerry Mabena, and Chief Executive Officer, Tshifiwa Tshivenga, with the initiative funded through the Collaborative Fund, supported by the Tourism Marketing South Africa (TOMSA) levy, and facilitated by FEDHASA.
The prestigious event, taking place during Africa’s Travel Indaba taking place in Durban, was also attended by Minister of Tourism Patricia de Lille and Deputy Minister of Tourism Makhotso “Maggie” Sotyu, together with the Mayor of eThekwini Councillor Cyril Xaba, senior tourism leadership, industry stakeholders, and representatives from leading hotel groups.
“Tourism is built on experience. And experience begins with feeling welcomed, comfortable, and safe,”
“This initiative contributes to establishing a more coordinated Tourism and Coastal Safety Unit that will support visible policing and rapid-response capabilities in key tourism areas, including the beachfront and surrounding visitor zones.”
“The guest’s experience is everyone’s responsibility, regardless of which hotel they’re staying at, and we are delighted with the results of the collaborative efforts of local, provincial and national government, as well as industry organisations and businesses like us invested in tourism safety.”
