Sun City, one of South Africa’s most well-known resorts, is under severe pressure as the country’s hospitality industry has yet to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sun City’s parent company, Sun International, hopes the resort’s ongoing refurbishment, set to be completed by the end of 2025, will give the hospitality giant the boost it needs to offset these hits.
Sun City was opened in 1979 by business magnate Sol Kerzner, the man behind many of South Africa’s most well-known hotels and resorts.
Born in Johannesburg in 1935, Kerzner has exposure to the hospitality industry from a young age through his family’s chain of kosher hotels.
