BRANSON GOES WILD

BRITISH tycoon Richard Branson is to buy a multi-million-dollar game reserve near South Africa’s famous Kruger National Park on the border with Mozambique, reports said on Saturday. The head of the Virgin empire will next month pay some R40-million for the 3500 hectare Ulusaba game reserve in the Mpumalanga province. He plans to upgrade the reserve’s two lodges to super luxury standard.
