African Sun Courts SA Legacy Hotels group

Listed hospitality group African Sun Ltd is mulling rebranding its premium hotels Crowne Plaza Monomotapa and Elephant Hills to Legacy Hotels and resorts after management signed a deal with the South African hospitality group.

Legacy operates the opulent Da Vinci Hotel in Sandton.

It has been established that while African Sun attributes the recent chopping of nine managers to a general re-organisation meant to align costs to revenue generation and mitigate continued financial constraints, sources said the move was a contrived step towards creating modalities to adopt the new franchise.

Well-placed sources say general managers from Legacy Hotel will be assigned to Zimbabwe to align legacy hotel standards to African sun.
