Thanda Royal Zulu is introduced to Thomas Gad and other roleplayers

During his visit, Thomas was guided by Ann Heystek and David Dodds through Thanda Royal Zulu, deep in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, where contemporary enchantment meets the glories of the African dynasty. Thanda Royal Zulu comprises only 34 Thanda Royal Residences, which are available for purchase as privately held enclaves on the ancient lands of the Zulu kings, amidst 20 000 hectares of thriving bush, riverine forests, green plains and yielding valleys.

Thomas Gad has worked on brand development, communication and advertising for some of the best-known companies in the world, including Nokia, Scandinavian Airlines, Procter & Gamble, Compaq and Microsoft. He has also developed a unique four-dimensional method of creating, transforming and maintaining brands, which has been unpacked in the bestselling book 4-D Branding, with a foreword by Sir Richard Branson. Thanda Royal Zulu looks forward to maximising this revolutionary method.
