“By blending the edible resources of our land with the products of our oceans, we are able to offer exciting African, Asian and Continental flavours and tastes to our visitors, ” says Gustav Holtzhausen, managing director, Faircity Hotels and primary shareholder of Twist. “The Twist@Mapungubwe chefs combine S.A.’s superb meats, appetizing seafood treats, freshest greens, herbs, and nuts to create a wholesome home-grown variation that keeps the most discerning palate coming back for more. “When we opened Mapungubwe Hotel in October 2007 it became apparent that our sophisticated and worldly guests were in search of fine dining options with unusual yet delectable tastes, ” says Holtzhausen. “We researched and investigated flavours and menus that presented palatable experiences and after extensive planning, introduced the Twist offering to Mapungubwe Hotel in October 2008.” Whilst Faircity Hotels manages the overall Mapungubwe Hotel establishment in Johannesburg, the company is set to become a market leader and specialist in managing and operating various other economy and four star hotels, conference hotels as well as serviced apartments in South Africa’s key cities. In addition, the accompanying Twist@brand is set to become a recognized and well known entity in the hotel industry.
