Sun International will challenge the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board’s decision to allow Tsogo Sun to relocate its Caledon casino licence to the Helderberg region in the Cape Town metro, raising the prospect of a lengthy delay to Tsogo’s planned R1.29 billion ($79 million) development in Somerset West.
Sun International is set to contest the approval granted to Tsogo Sun in September last year, following a regulatory process. The decision permits Tsogo Sun to shift its casino licence, a move that could impact the progress of Tsogo’s significant development project in Somerset West.
The challenge initiated by Sun International introduces uncertainty into Tsogo Sun’s relocation plans and the associated multimillion-dollar investment earmarked for the Somerset West area. This legal dispute may potentially disrupt the timeline of Tsogo Sun's development in the Helderberg region.
