Our initiatives



ADDO AFRICAN HOME by MOLO LOLO, is engaged in a fair, eco-friendly and sustainable business approach.
Our engagements:



Encouraging entepreneurship



We launched Addo African Clothes, a 100% local and ethical brand, which items are created by a local seamstress and available at the workshop located on the estate.



Being a mentor to youth



Thanks to Molo Lolo Cooking School and our many other projects, we help young people from the townships to get a better start in active life by offering them training and job opportunities in the catering and hospitality industry.



Protecting our planet



We said no to plastic and found alternatives to replace all plastic products on the property. We started a recycling project in the nearby township to raise awareness among local communities, and our goal is to become a role model in the '0 waste' practices.



Fair Trade Tourism





We respect the core values of environmental labels through our organization and everyday behaviour. We aim at respecting and protecting the environment as well as our employees and guests, while providing a great service and unique experience in our properties in Cape Town, Durbanville and Addo. MOLO LOLO truly cares about creating a friendly atmosphere, whether it is between managers and guests or managers and employees.


We train our staff on an ongoing basis and offer opportunities for personal development and growth, we offer them cooking classes, housekeeping training and provide them with locally made (by local tailors) uniforms to give them a strong sense of identity and belonging to the MOLO LOLO family. We ensure that they feel right at work and encourage open and honest dialogue. We encourage the sharing of ideas and opinions in the day to day operation of the business.



Fair Trade Tourism





We also want to help the community and act as responsibly as we can to ensure the fair development of local businesses. For example, we created partnerships to promote and support the growth of local businesses of craftsmen and artisans market in South Africa by showing their products in our Properties.


We also contracted with SME and small local businesses for all our renovations works done to our property, recently the ADDO AFRICAN HOME. We also developed partnerships with restaurants located in the townships to encourage people to go there and meet the local community. This is in line with our Vision to provide a cultural experience to our guests, so that they can truly get to enjoy the feeling of what it means to live in South Africa.
