My youngest daughter I went to Montecasino last week to have a look at one of their unique venues for my daughter's upcoming wedding. It is the most astounding place I have ever seen. The moment you walk in to this building you are immediately transported into a world of beauty, elegance and class. You feel like you have just stepped off a plane in Tuscany. The decor, the ambiance, the staff, everything is just so incredibly beautiful. The venue we looked at is absolutely perfect and my daughter was blown away by everything. The staff that assisted us were so helpful and well informed and they just added to the excitement for her as well. Thank you Montecasino for making this experience such a memorable one.

OUR HISTORY

Tsogo Sun Is Southern Africa’s Premier Gaming, Hotel And Entertainment Group.

Tsogo Sun’s portfolio proudly comprises over 100 hotels with more than 14 600 hotel rooms across all sectors of the market, from luxury to budget in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, the United Arab Emirates and the Seychelles; 14 premier gaming and entertainment destinations in six provinces of South Africa; theatres, cinemas, restaurants and bars; and over 280 conference and banqueting facilities, including the Sandton Convention Centre.

1969

South African Breweries Limited (‘SAB Limited’) and hotel magnate, Sol Kerzner, partnered to create Southern Sun Hotels (‘Southern Sun’), the largest hotel group in the southern hemisphere at the time. Southern Sun commenced operations with six hotels, including the iconic Beverly Hills hotel in Umhlanga Rocks, Durban, and was subsequently involved in the development of many of the most prestigious hotels of the era, including the Cape Sun, Sandton Sun and Sun City.

1983

Sun International Limited was split out of Southern Sun as a separate gaming business and Southern Sun remained focused on hotels.

1985

Southern Sun had expanded to 26 hotels. It then acquired the Holiday Inn South Africa hotel group, thereby establishing a countrywide distribution of 49 hotels, in both the up-market and midmarket segments.

1991

Southern Sun was delisted from the JSE and became a wholly owned subsidiary of SAB Limited. Southern Sun entered into a joint venture with Accor SA, the French hotel group, to develop the Formula1 and Formula Inn range of hotels in South Africa and the first of 23 hotels opened the next year.

1995

Tsogo Sun Holdings Proprietary Limited (as it was then known) (‘Tsogo Sun Holdings’) was constituted as a bidding consortium between Southern Sun and numerous black empowerment corporates, associations and individuals (via Tsogo Investment Holding Company Proprietary Limited (‘TIH’)) and the consortium was successful in obtaining five casino licences.

1997-1998

The group opened the Emnotweni Casino which in 1997 was the first casino within the new regulated environment in post-Apartheid South Africa. In the following year the group opened The Ridge Casino.

1999

Southern Sun acquired a 50% interest in a consortium with Liberty Group Limited (‘Liberty’) called The Cullinan Hotel Proprietary Limited (‘Cullinan’) which owned three hotels.

2000 – 2002

Montecasino opened during 2000, Hemingways Casino opened during 2001 and the Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World followed in 2002. During 2002 SABMiller (via SABSA Holdings Limited) and TIH concluded a landmark BBBEE transaction which resulted in TIH acquiring control of Tsogo Sun Holdings, including the hotel business, and the dilution of SABMiller’s ownership interest to 49%. Hosken Consolidated Investments Limited (‘HCI’) first acquired a 10% interest in TIH during 2002 and has subsequently obtained a 99% ownership of TIH.

2009

The group acquired two casino properties owned by Century Casinos Inc., Blackrock Casino and The Caledon Casino.

2010

An additional 30% of the shares in the Suncoast Casino were acquired from non-controlling interests increasing the group’s holding to 73.5%.

2011

The group merged with Gold Reef Resorts Limited (‘Gold Reef’) incorporating an additional seven casinos into the group’s portfolio – Gold Reef City Casino, Silverstar Casino, Golden Horse Casino, Garden Route Casino, Mykonos Casino, Goldfields Casino and an associate investment in Queens Casino. The group was reverse listed into Gold Reef and subsequently renamed Tsogo Sun Holdings Limited. An additional 16.5% of the shares in the Suncoast Casino were acquired from non-controlling interests, increasing the group’s holding to 90%.

2012

The group acquired Accor SA’s holding in the Formula1 hotels and in the following year rebranded the hotels to SUN1. The Tsogo Sun group was rebranded, bringing the two casino businesses and the hotel business under one common identity.

2013

The final 10% of the shares in the Suncoast Casino were acquired from non-controlling interests, bringing the group’s holding to 100%. The group acquired 75.5% of Ikoyi Hotels Limited which owns the Southern Sun Ikoyi Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria.

2014

The group acquired an additional 10% interest in Cullinan and Cullinan acquired various hotel assets from Liberty and Southern Sun bringing the number of hotel properties in Cullinan to eight. The group acquired a 25% interest in Redefine BDL Hotel Group Limited, a leading hotel management company in the United Kingdom. SABMiller disposed of its stake in the group bringing an end to the successful 45-year relationship between the groups. As part of the disposal Tsogo Sun Holdings Limited bought back 12% of its ordinary shares.
