GAMING group Sun International, the owner of landmark casino complexes in South Africa such as Sun City, GrandWest and Boardwalk, has welcomed its first US tourist since March.
The traveller, Stuff Cleague, is a health worker from Buffalo, New York. She said she had travelled extensively throughout the Americas and the Caribbean and this was her first trip to Africa.
In its JSE Sens results statement in March, Sun International announced that it had suffered a financial loss due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The group, along with other gaming and hospitality groups, was forced to shut operations in 2020 but faced ongoing trade restrictions which included bans on liquor, curfews, and social distancing rules.

A Memento Mori gold ring engraved with a skull is one of nine stunning medieval and post-medieval objects found in Wales.
The ring, found in Carreghofa Community, Powys, would have been kept as a reminder of the inevitability of death. Memento Mori is a Latin term that literally means remember you must die .
Among the other priceless objects are three gold and silver coin hoards and the first Anglo-Saxon style double-hooked fastener to be identified in Wales.
