Speaking to Drum on the mountain-site where he is currently building Mabodibane resort from the ground up, he says he couldn’t help but take it on as a very personal project.
“Firstly, it's just the beauty of the space where it's located and the rich history that it's got. I grew up in the area, so I love contributing a lot towards the local economy and also towards the development at the same place where I grew up and I donated a library.
“It's right outside the village in the mountain and I just fell in love with the space when I used to come here a lot alone or with friends.
And I just saw that there's a space that can be developed into a masterpiece. It just made so much sense that to revive it, to make the space, to have life again and just bring more activity, modernize it,” says the former Skeem Saam actor."
It opened on 15 December, where Cornet Mamabolo hosted his first farmers market and family picnic at the resort.
