@dailyintern: Sol Kerzner was the billionaire hotel magnate who founded the world-famous Sun City resort, transforming South Africa's hospitality industry. Before Sun City, Kerzner built South Africa's first five-star hotel, the Beverly Hills Hotel in Umhlanga, and co-founded the Southern Sun Hotels group. He developed Sun City in the late 1970s by securing exclusive casino rights in the former Bophuthatswana homeland, turning it into one of Africa's most iconic entertainment destinations. Kerzner later expanded globally through Kerzner International, developing luxury resorts such as Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas and One&Only resorts around the world.
