After years of delays, JSE-listed casino and leisure group Tsogo Sun has received the green light from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board to relocate its Caledon casino licence to Somerset West.
The approval paves the way for a new gaming and hospitality development in the Helderberg area – bringing direct competition to Sun International’s GrandWest Casino, currently Cape Town metro’s only fully-fledged operation.
Tsogo Sun hailed the decision as “a positive development for the Western Cape and the group,” promising world-class casino and hotel infrastructure in a region it says has been underserved for too long. The approval ends a protracted regulatory stalemate.
