South African casino giant Tsogo Sun has criticized ‘disappointing’ regulatory delays preventing it from investing in new casinos in the Western Cape for over a decade because of the provincial authorities’ failure to process its application for a new development.’
Tsogo Sun has wanted to build resorts in Somerset West and Strand but has been prevented by red tape.
The operator said: “The significant delay in finalizing the application by the regulatory authorities and provincial government has been disappointing, given that land-based casinos invest substantially in infrastructure and create significant direct and indirect jobs.
“Substantial investments planned for the Western Cape will contribute considerably to the tourism attraction of both the Helderberg and Overberg regions.”
