'She had a huge ambition of being one of the greatest knitwear designers in South Africa.' The designer shared how being an entrepreneur has been in their blood, from their grandparents, with their mother's entrepreneurial spirit and sense of innovation being something they remember her for. Despite their mother experiencing financial difficulties, their education was something she did not compromise on. Laduma recalls how, even when school fees were not paid, they never missed out on school. The cultural icon shared that his mother, before she passed, told them there was no inheritance for them except for the life lessons she had equipped them with and the gift of education. The auction consisted of items such as a stay at Sun City's Palace Hotel, gold teardrop earrings from Nungu Diamond that were first worn by 'Shaka iLembe' actress Nomzamo Mbatha, a MaXhosa jewellery set, earrings, a bracelet and a necklace.

The Lindelwa Foundation was launched last year on the founder's mother's birth date, August 18. Laduma expressed relief at the end of the auction, noting that pulling it off was not easy, but it was a worthwhile experience.

Zimbabwe's Rainbow Tourism Group invests R100 million in Cape Town hotel acquisition
Rainbow Tourism Group-owned Victoria Falls Rainbow hotel in Zimbabwe is within walking distance of the mighty Victoria Falls and very close to all the adventure activities in the resort town. Image: Supplied Tawanda Karombo Zimbabwe-listed hotelier, Rainbow Tourism Group (RTG), is expanding into South Africa with the $5.6 million (nealry R100 million) acquisition of a Cape Town commercial property that it intends to turn into a prime hotel. RTG, which runs city and resort hotels in Zimbabwe, said on Thursday that it was in the process of finalising a strategic acquisition in Cape Town through its South African-registered subsidiary, Rainbow Tourism Group (SA). RTG SA has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Elleke Hospitality for this acquisition. Under the agreement, RTG will acquire the seven-storey commercial property located along Buitengracht Street in Cape Town. 'The property which is currently a commercial asset, will undergo adaptive reuse and refurbishment to transform it into a branded hotel operated under a leading international hospitality group,' said Tapiwa Mari, RTG company secretary. 'The total consideration for the acquisition is roughly 9.3% of the company's market capitalisation on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE).' Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading RTG said the acquisition of the Cape Town property and its development into a branded hotel was in alignment with the board's overarching mandate to identify and pursue growth opportunities that support the company's long-term vision of expansion. 'To ensure world-class delivery, the Company is presently in advanced discussions with reputable international hotel brands to secure a management agreement for the acquired property,' explained Mari. 'Partnering with a global operator is expected to drive international skills transfer, operational efficiency, and increased visibility of the RTG brand on the global stage.' The redevelopment of the property into a modern, fully operational hotel will be consistent with international hospitality standards guided by the specifications and brand standards of the selected global hotel partner. This will ensure that 'the final product meets world-class benchmarks in design, guest experience, and service' delivery. RTG plans the Cape Town hotel to stand as a competitive and high-impact asset within Cape Town's hospitality landscape. To finance the acquisition, RTG has secured $6m loan facility from a Zimbabwean finance institution at terms it said were consistent with its existing borrowing arrangements. The loan facility carries a fixed interest rate of 12.5% per annum with a tenure of five years. On drawdown, the loan facility is expected to raise RTG's gearing ratio from 9% as at the end of 2024 to approximately 32% post the transaction. With a premium location along a major arterial route leading into Cape Town's Central Business District (CBD) and offering high visibility and pedestrian traffic, the acquisition property has close proximity to key business and leisure landmarks such as including the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), the DHL Cape Town Stadium and the Bo-Kaap tourist district. 'This premium location positions the property as an ideal candidate for conversion into a hotel development that caters to both corporate and leisure travellers,' noted Mari. 'Its proximity to the CTICC enhances its suitability for the Meetings, Incentives Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) segment, while the surrounding cultural, culinary, and recreational attractions boost its appeal to domestic and international tourists alike.' The Cape Town acquisition 'presents an opportunity to diversify both the Group's balance sheet and revenue streams by establishing a presence in one of Africa's most vibrant and competitive tourism' markets. Cape Town is a globally acclaimed destination and a key hospitality hub offering strong market fundamentals, including high occupancy rates, well-developed infrastructure, and year-round international visitor appeal. Mari said establishing a footprint in this environment not only enhances RTG's regional and global profile but also provides direct access to global best practices in hospitality operations, customer experience, and service excellence.
