JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – THE Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) has approved the rebranding of Tsogo Sun Hotels to Southern Sun.
JSE approved the name change as well as a new share code and short name “SSU”, from “TGO”.
The changes are subject to shareholder approval.
Tsogo Sun is convening a general meeting of shareholders to be held on August 18, 2022.
