Mama Shelter Residences Cape Town, New Branded Residences Rising in the City Centre
The Mama Shelter brand was born in 2008, when the Trigano family (co-founders of Club Med) opened the first hotel in Paris' vibrant east, giving birth to a fresh way of hosting modern travelers. It combined design-led interiors with lively restaurant and bar spaces, knowledgeable staff and the care that only your Mama could provide – all with an affordable price tag. Since then, the brand has become a dynamic market leader in partnership with Ennismore – the world's largest and fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality company.
The residences are part of a landmark mixed-use redevelopment at 111 Bree Street, led by Kasada – a pan-African real estate private equity firm focused on hospitality – in partnership with Western Cape-based property and development company, Ingenuity. Sales are managed locally by Pam Golding Properties and globally by Savills.

Chinese warehouse workers welcome Trump's extended tariff truce
Employees in China's export hubs are cautiously optimistic as US President Donald Trump prolongs a fragile truce on tariffs with Beijing. Labourer Shuai Hang went a week without work earlier this year when sky-high US tariffs on Chinese goods overwhelmed the warehouse he works at and slowed the company's US-bound parcels to a trickle. But on Tuesday, after US President Donald Trump announced a truce on those duties would be extended, the depot in southern China's manufacturing hub Guangzhou was alive with noise as workers stuffed trucks with packages of clothes and kitchenware. Many are destined for the doorsteps of US customers of Chinese-founded online shopping giant Temu. Tariffs hit workers' wages and job stability 'Tariffs impact our daily lives,' said 31-year-old Shuai, whose monthly pay of more than 10,000 yuan ($1,400) had dropped by a third previously. 'If tariffs are slightly lower, then there are more outgoing shipments, and then we have higher wages,' he said. Trump's tariff policies since taking office have upended global trade and set off a blistering tit-for-tat with Beijing — but in May the two major economies agreed to a fragile truce, with each temporarily lowering levies on the other's goods. That agreement was extended to November by Trump on Monday, hours before it expired. Deliveries plunge during peak tariff periods At the height of the tariffs, said Shuai, who has been loading parcels for Guangzhou-based logistics company Weijiang International for a year, 'there was not a single truck' for him to fill, so he couldn't work. ALSO READ: US tariffs: Here's why talks over trade deal have been 'complex' Overall deliveries dropped by about 20 percent in May, according to Weijiang's founder Xiong Wei, with the US market making up around a quarter of their cross-border business. But business has recovered since July, he said. Xiong said he hadn't lost sleep over the looming expiration of the 90-day tariff truce this week, as he had expected it would be renewed. 'We might have been worried in May, but now we are indifferent,' said Xiong. 'We are used to it'. 'Cards reshuffled' These days the warehouse is sending out 100 tonnes of packages every 24 hours, with up to 70 trucks making trips. On Tuesday industrial fans whirred as sweat-slicked workers methodically scanned yellow, black and sage green bundles into lorries. Xiong's company has recently invested in its own warehouse in Chicago. ALSO READ: Lesufi says US tariffs due to SA's Palestine stance, backs China to prop up Gauteng In many ways the uncertainty provided opportunity for smaller logistics companies like theirs, said manager Chen Weiyan, as they have taken the chance to expand their market. 'The cards have been reshuffled,' he said. Temu link boosts cross-border flows Around 30 percent of the parcels moved by Weijiang International end up in a different warehouse, this one owned by Temu-parent PDD, where they are unloaded, repacked and readied for a flight across the ocean. While the truce is welcome, Shuai, who packs three to four tonnes in a truck daily, said he still pays close attention to tariff news. 'For those of us who have travelled over 1,000 kilometres to work here, we definitely don't want frequent breaks. We all want to earn more money,' said the native of neighbouring Guizhou province. 'Folks in America need our goods' Working at the warehouse was less tiring than labouring at a construction site, and earning money had become more difficult in the past two years, he said. Chen, the manager, was bullish. 'We will not give up this market,' he said. 'Folks in America need our goods'. NOW READ: SA and China can 'do much to cooperate in film making'

Gupta compound in Saxonwold sold for R34. 5 million
Simon Majadibodu | Published 1 hour ago The controversial Gupta family's Saxonwold compound has been sold to a single buyer for approximately R34.5 million, the Park Village Auctions (PVA) said. PVA announced that all three properties - number. 3, 5, and 7 Saxonwold Drive in Sandton, Gauteng - along with their contents- have been successfully sold. The sale includes furniture and appliances, with the total amount realised inclusive of buyer's commission and VAT. 'Park Village Auctions has realised approximately R34.5 million for all three Saxonwold properties and their contents,' said PVA's Clive Lazarus. Lazarus confirmed that the Business Rescue Practitioners (BRPs) accepted and approved the offer. The properties belonged to Confident Concept (Pty) Ltd, which is currently under business rescue. IOL News previously reported that the auction revealed that a single R3 million offer was made for the six-bedroom mansion at 7 Saxonwold Drive, far below the starting bid of R5 million. In contrast, number 5 Saxonwold Drive, an eight-bedroom, three-storey home, failed to attract any bids. Municipal valuations painted a stark contrast: R21 million for No. 5 and R36 million for No. 7 Saxonwold Drive. High monthly municipal rates - R19,186 and R29,433 respectively, with costs reaching up to R30,000, likely deterred potential buyers. In addition to the main properties, the buyer also acquired No. 7A Saxonwold Drive for R6.5 million, including commission and VAT, Lazarus said. 'With all necessary securities received in good order, the assets formerly belonging to Confident Concept (Pty) Ltd are confirmed as sold,' he added. The BRPs will distribute the proceeds according to the business rescue plan, offering some relief to creditors. Over the years, PVA, acting on behalf of the BRPs, has overseen the disposal of assets from several companies linked to the Guptas, including Islandsite Investments 180 (Pty) Ltd, Koornfontein Mines (Pty) Ltd, Optimum Coal Mine (Pty) Ltd, Optimum Coal Terminal (Pty) Ltd, The New Age Media (Pty) Ltd, and VR Laser Services (Pty) Ltd. 'The Business Rescue Practitioners are satisfied with this outcome, as is PVA. The sale signifies how we, with the BRPs, will be relentless in reclaiming funds owed to creditors,' said Lazarus.
