Tributes have been pouring in for hotel and casino magnate Sol Kerzner who died of cancer on Saturday aged 84.

Mashishi said Kerzner, who was referred to with grandiose names such as “Enigmatic Genius”, “Magnetic Entrepreneur” and “The Sun King”, was truly exceptional, was equal to the superlatives, and was simply larger than life.

STH board chairperson Jerry Mabena lauded Sol Kerzner’s contribution to the tourism and hospitality sector. Mabena said Kerzner left a formidable legacy as an entrepreneur and pioneer of the industry. “Sol Kerzner and his family have gone the extra mile in supporting ... STH. He believed in the purpose of UJ and laid the foundation of the STH in the year that the university was founded,” Van Lill said“He lived a rich life of big business, celebrity and with passion for his hospitality industry. He always remained true to his roots — from Troyeville in Johannesburg to Durban.

A little help here and there contributed to his legacy. Transkei. RIP Sol Kerzner. You allowed us to enjoy the niceties of Monaco at Amatola and FishRiver Sun back in the day.

As a kiddy, not looking, I grabbed a hand and said 'pappa kom ons gaan swem!' turns out it wasn't my papa but Sol. Jammer oom, maar oom was maar baie oulik daai dag.
