One of South Africa’s musical legends, Sipho Hotstix Mabuse, visited the Maropeng Boutique Hotel earlier this week.

Mabuse is one of the official Amageepee champions for Gauteng Tourism and was visiting the hotel in this capacity.

Managing Director of Maropeng, Tony Rubin, says it was great to have Mabuse as a guest at the hotel, “It was wonderful to meet Sipho Hotstix after all these years. I last saw him in Newcastle in 1986. We spent time reminiscing about the “old days’’ over a cup of coffee on the hotel deck.”
