Thokozani means a celebration and it is in this spirit that our project is launched with its central and crucial focus on training and development as an absolute necessity to the achievement of sustainable economic empowerment. The business operations will initially consist of a new Thokozani wine brand that was launched in September 2005, as well as Thokozani Conferences - which will take over the existing conference business at Diemersfontein, and will build its own accommodation complex - The Thokozani Suites, thus enabling a bigger conference business to be created. These businesses will start at Diemersfontein and be in partnership with Diemersfontein - by using the existing infrastructure and part of its staff contingent, but will be structured in such a way as to allow and encourage development outside of the Estate after an appropriate consolidation period. We think of it as a business within a business, but free to fly
