Business Report writes that the R4 billion Time Square casino and hotel being developed by Sun International (SI) at Menlyn Maine in Pretoria is set to create thousands of new job opportunities and economic benefits.
Michael Farr of SI said on Monday that about 10,000 direct and indirect jobs would have been created during the construction and initial fit-out and start-up phase. He advised that about 1,230 direct permanent jobs were expected to be created when the casino opened, which included the jobs transferred from the Morula Sun. “About 2,200 permanent jobs will be created, including those people and other permanent jobs that were created by the various service providers and concessionaires that opened businesses at Time Square,” Farr stated. SI has made a commitment to absorb all the staff from the Morula Sun when the casino licence is transferred to Menlyn Maine. Some of the employees at the Morula Sun might decide to stay at the facility because it will still provide hotel accommodation.
