Chairman's review

"Three years ago, the board ushered in a new management team to develop and implement a strategy that would constitute a step change. I am pleased to report that we are now well on our way into the execution of the final lap of the strategy, which we believe will bring about meaningful growth.

Over the past two years the group has worked diligently to build efficiencies and grow the business – but there is little we can do about the global economic decline and its impact on the group’s operations and guests, particularly in South Africa where the effects of the weak rand and prolonged drought have pushed up prices of goods and services. All these factors have both a positive and negative impact on Sun International."
