The Royal Bafokeng Nation is a traditional community of more than 130 000 people, inhabiting 29 villages in the North West province. Situated on large platinum reserves, the community has transformed mining royalties into a diversified investment portfolio – designed to ensure the socio-economic future of the Nation.

The RBN portfolio includes three world class tourism facilities - the Royal Marang Hotel and Conference Centre, the Royal Bafokeng Stadium and the Ananda Hotel Precinct. These facilities attract both domestic and international tourists, and generate revenue for reinvestment in the community. They have also sparked the Royal Bafokeng School of Hospitality, giving community members the skills and qualifications needed to work in the regions vibrant tourism industry.

Across South Africa, many traditional communities boast the natural beauty and features tourists look for. With inspiration from the Royal Bafokeng and investment from industry partners, these blessings can also be translated into a sustainable future for traditional communities.
