LIV Golf@livgolf_league·
🇿🇦❤️@BurmyGolf Reporter: You spoke about Bafana Bafana; the last time the country galvanized like this was back in 2010. How incredible has it been to see South Africans to come out and support this event the way they have the last two days? Burmester: "Yeah, all people, big and small, proudly South Africa out there. It's amazing to have that kind of backing and we feel the love. It's so good to see a country once divided join together like that behind sport. I never really understood the Rugby World Cup or the 2010 World Cup before, but bringing LIV Golf here has given us a taste of doing that." "We've had so many people from all walks of life inside these gates having a good time and enjoying not only the golf but now we get to go and watch one of our own, Black Coffee, do something special this evening. It's a really proud moment to be a South African."

"Sources familiar with the process confirmed Dr. Motsepe had no role or influence in the appeals and deliberations. The board’s members are selected for their independence and decisions are made based on regulations and evidence presented during hearings. Motsepe welcomed Senegal’s right to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), stating CAF would “respect the decision that’s taken at the highest level.”

A Premium Carlton Hotel sitting empty for the past 29 years next to its Parent Company Headquarters Transnet collecting dust due to lack of political will, foresight, poor planning & lack of strategy for Jozi inner City. Now another Hotel in closing down in NewTown #Vote4Change

The Carlton Centre Complex A short history on what was once the tallest skyscraper in the Southern Hemisphere - The Carlton Centre Tower. Quick facts: 🌆 Floors: 50 🌆 Height: 223m 🌆 Completion date: 1973 🌆 GLA of retail: 53 000m2 🌆 GLA of offices: 68 000m2 🌆 Construction began: 1960’s 🌆 Estimated replacement cost: R1.5 Billion 🌆 Location: 150 Commisioner Street, Johannesburg 🌆 Unique features: 2400m2 Sky Rink - ice skating rink, later converted into film studios 🌆 Architect: Gordon Bunshaft (SOM Architects) working with local firm Rhodes Harrison Hoffe and Partners Anglo American and SAB (South African Breweries) were the original owners of the land. Anglo American then bought out SAB’s shares and became the sole owner. The Carlton Complex cost R88 million to build. Anglo American sold the entire Carlton Complex to Transnet in 1999 for R33 million. The office tower and retail are operational, however the hotel is still closed. The Carlton Centre is linked to the Carlton Hotel through an underground shopping centre with over 180 retail shops. The History of The Carlton Hotel The first Hotel: 🏨 Floors: 6 🏨 Opening: 20 February 1906 🏨 The British Royal Family stayed here 🏨 The original hotel was demolished in 1963 🏨 Construction by: Barnadot-Joel Mining Company The second 5-star Carlton Hotel 🏙️ Floors: 31 🏙️ Rooms: 663 🏙️ Size: 43 500m2 🏙️ Restaurant: Three Ships 🏙️ Closure: December 1997 🏙️ Opening: 21 November 1972 🏙️ Underground parking: 2000 bays 🏙️ Nelson Mandela stayed here often and delivered his ANC election victory speech in the ballroom of this hotel. 🏙️ The contents of the hotel were sold to the Protea Hotel in Gold Reef City - a replica of the Three Ships restaurant also opened there. 🏙️ Managed by: Western International hotels - interesting is that Western’s international status meant that all races could mix freely at the Carlton Hotel. 🏙️ Guests of the hotel included: Hillary Clinton, Christiaan Barnard, Harry Oppenheimer, Naomi Campbell, Michael Jackson, Margaret Thatcher, Whitney Houston, Mick Jagger, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Anglo American had plans to sell 70% of the hotel to a Malaysian company that wanted to convert it into a casino. However, they could not get a casino licence so the sale fell through. I had the pleasure of visiting the top of this tower on the 50th floor many years ago. Seeing the City of Gold from this 360-degree view was an overwhelming experience.

The City Lodge Hotel in Newtown, Johannesburg, is closing after more than a decade, and the building will be auctioned by the end of the month. The hotel was built in 2015 and initially cost R146 million to develop. It includes: • 148 rooms • Restaurant • 2 boardrooms • Gym and swimming pool • 55 basement parking bays City Lodge says the decision not to renew the lease is unrelated to staff performance, the brand, or the broader Johannesburg market. The group has operated for more than 40 years and has 58 hotels across South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Mozambique. But the reality is, this hotel stopped turning a profit. And that says something more about hospitality in Johannesburg right now. Over the past few years, I have toured, written about, and presented on multiple hotel developments across the city, and one trend keeps coming up. Most visitors enter through OR Tambo, the busiest airport in Africa, yet we are not seeing the same wave of new hotel developments that we see in Cape Town. Johannesburg is still a business-driven city before it is a leisure destination. Corporate travel drives demand for 4 and 5-star hotels, and these are high-frequency travellers with high expectations. Instead of flooding the market with new supply, we are seeing the optimisation of existing stock in Johannesburg. Newtown made sense at one stage. It was positioned as a cultural precinct near the CBD, with significant public investment and high expectations for regeneration. But the guests have changed, and so have their expectations. Many visitors now choose Sandton, Rosebank, Melrose, Waterfall or Fourways, where there is stronger security, newer infrastructure, and integrated business and retail nodes. The closure of City Lodge Newtown is not just about one hotel. It is a sign of how the hospitality market in Johannesburg is being reshaped.
