He was a dedicated professional who played a pivotal role in the City’s recent collaborative efforts to revive tourism and events. Jermaine’s sudden departure is not only a tremendous loss to our organisation, but also a tragic blow to the industry he served with passion and commitment. His unwavering dedication and innovative spirit significantly contributed to the success of our recent strategic events aimed at revitalising the tourism and events sector in the City.

As a partner of the Joburg Tourism Company (JTC), Jermaine played a crucial role in shaping and executing initiatives to bring about change in the industry.
