African Sun Limited, ‘African Sun’, is the fastest-growing
hospitality group in sub-Saharan Africa. It currently
has interests in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Ghana,
Nigeria, and Mozambique. Plans for operations
in Equatorial Guinea, Botswana and Tanzania will
shortly come to fruition.
Established in 1968, the company was part of what
is now Delta Corporation, Zimbabwe’s leading beverage
manufacturer. Under its then new name, Zimbabwe
Sun Limited, and with a significant change in
the ownership structure, it separated from Delta
Corporation and, in turn, transferred title of
its wholly-owned properties to Dawn Properties
Limited, which was formed and listed on the Zimbabwe
Stock Exchange in 2003 for that purpose. African
Sun Limited, itself listed on the local exchange,
retains an 18.96% equity stake in Dawn Properties,
which owns nine of African Sun’s leased properties
in Zimbabwe as well as a variety of other investments.To
reflect its pan-African ambitions, the company
changed its name from Zimbabwe Sun Limited to
African Sun Limited in May 2008. |
