Sun International stalwart Nico Myburgh is set on catapulting the iconic The Palace into a new stratosphere of success.

Freshly installed General Manager Nico Myburgh has earmarked ushering The Palace into a new era as his primary business target. Myburgh is no stranger to Sun International’s premier property, having been part of the team for 12 years[1]. He returns as general manager with a clear brief: to reposition The Palace as a deluxe six-star hotel.

Myburgh’s mission will be made somewhat simpler as the icon of African luxury is in excellent health after extensive refurbishments. The addition of the world-class Royal Spa and Salon, with its six individual treatment rooms and three palatial suites, a comprehensive refresh of its 326 rooms and suites, and a new gym, equipped with free weights, resistance machines, treadmills, and stationary cycles, has already resulted in higher occupancy rates.

[JOHANNEBSURG: March 30, 2023] Sun International CEO Anthony Leeming took a seat for the day - not at the boardroom table, but in a wheelchair, to create awareness for those with intellectual disabilities.

The hospitality and gaming company has donated R55 000 towards the annual Little Eden Society CEO Wheelchair Campaign, which sees chief executives across the country spend a day in a wheelchair to raise awareness about challenges experienced by people with limited mobility.

All money raised will go towards caring for 300 children and adults with profound intellectual disabilities at Little Eden. It costs the NGO R13 460 to care for one resident per month, and many are from families who cannot contribute towards their costs.
