GERMAN developers plan to immortalise Venda’s legendary ”Rain Queen”, Queen Modjadji, by building a R30-million five star hotel in her honour in a 300-year-old cycad forest. The sprawling hotel will be built in an architectural style that echoes the ruined stonewalled cities of Thulamela and Great Zimbabwe. Northern Province’s Investment Initiative (NPii) has already clinched the deal with an as yet unnamed German investor and is in the process of approving business plans for the venture.
