UJ remembers legacy of SA hotel tycoon Sol Kerzner The University of Johannesburg (UJ) has sent its condolences to the family of businessman Sol Kerzner, who passed on Saturday.
In a statement released on Sunday morning, UJ said that it is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Kerzner, the founder of hotel group, Southern Sun and Sun International.
In recognition of his role, the Auckland Park Bunting Road campus STH building was named after Sol Kerzner, who was regarded as the school’s patron alongside former president Nelson Mandela. STH Director Diane Abrahams said both the staff and students were saddened by the news of Kerzner’s death. “We owe a debt of gratitude to Mr Kerzner and his family for their unrelenting support of the school over the many years. Their support did not end once the STH building was complete,” said Abrahams.
