We are thrilled to announce the re-opening of the Fig Tree Restaurant for sit-down dining, and our Conference facilities for business purposes. Our teams are ready to welcome you back.
Minister of Tourism, Mmamalako Kubayi-Ngubane briefed the media on final directions for the re-opening of the tourism industry under Advanced Alert Level 3 on Friday afternoon. Our senior team spent the weekend analysing the Minister’s statement and ensuring the correct procedures are put in place at Simbithi Country Club. The regulations are contained in Government Gazette No. 43487.

Our staff have received extensive training in line with our Health and Safety procedures. However, this is new territory for our team. Accordingly, we appeal to you to be patient with us, as we navigate this “new normal”. Follow the guidelines we have put in place: these are for your protection, and ours.
Yesterday, the Club also received its Letter of Acceptability from GeoChem, following an inspection of our facilities. A risk analysis was conducted in the Main and Halfway House kitchens, housekeeping and laundry areas. Our staff have been trained to maintain the required standards, in order to keep us safe. Compliance will be monitored weekly, by GeoChem.
All of the above procedures have been drafted into the latest version of our Protocol, which you will find here, and on our website.
If you have any queries, comments or concerns, please chat to our Club General Manager, Craig Nell: clubgm@simbithi.com.
