South African actress Yolanda Buthelezi’s recent trip to Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa was made very interesting after she met British singer-songwriter and television actress Rita Ora.
The former “Uzalo” actress shared on TikTok a video of herself and Ora inside the pool, and wrote, “POV: you went to the spa on a random Monday and somehow ended up having a great chat with RITA ORA.”
In her caption, the actress further shared that Ora is “so sweet and gorgeous”.
Responding to a comment, Buthelezi revealed that she did ask to take the video with Ora and she did say she could post it as part of her day.
Buthelezi also shared that she told Ora to come back to South Africa for a live performance, and with so many international artists performing in the country, anything is possible.
The actress revealed that at first, when they started talking, she didn’t know it was Ora until she was like, “wait a minute”. Many of the comments also said they wouldn’t have known it was Ora.
The Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa in Sandhurst, Johannesburg, is known to be the hotel of choice for many international stars who come to Johannesburg.
Global icons, heads of state, and music royalty, such as Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé Knowles, and Whoopi Goldberg, to name a few.
Most famously, Nelson Mandela lived there for six months to edit his autobiography, “Long Walk to Freedom,” after his release from prison. The hotel was originally the private home of insurance magnate Douw Steyn; Mandela was never just a guest; he was a resident houseguest. The property now features a dedicated Mandela Gallery – IOL
