One of the most prestigious hotels in the KwaZulu-Natal province, the Hilton Durban, will close its doors on Monday, January 11.

DURBAN -

“We are currently not taking bookings past the 11th of January as we will be closing, sir, but we will be reopening,” a Hilton employee told the African News Agency on Friday. The Hilton Durban, however, isn’t the only hotel in the province to suffer a major knock from the pandemic. The Fairmont Zimbali Hotel underwent business rescue in September 2020.

Wow that is horrible those poor families. Shows you though, foreign company's do not care less about SA workers! These workers are retrenched in a pandemic by a very wealthy global hotel chain! Unreal!
