Our History

African Sun HistoryAfrican Sun Limited, ‘African Sun’, is the fastest-growing hospitality group in sub-Saharan Africa.  It currently has interests in Zimbabwe and Nigeria.

Established in 1968, the company was part of what is now Delta Corporation, Zimbabwe’s leading beverage manufacturer. Under its then new name, Zimbabwe Sun Limited, and with a significant change in the ownership structure, it separated from Delta Corporation and, in turn, transferred title of its wholly-owned properties to Dawn Properties Limited, which was formed and listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange in 2003 for that purpose. African Sun Limited, itself listed on the local exchange, retains an 18.96% equity stake in Dawn Properties, which owns nine of African Sun’s leased properties in Zimbabwe as well as a variety of other investments.

To reflect its pan-African ambitions, the company changed its name from Zimbabwe Sun Limited to African Sun Limited in May 2008
