A 25,1% shareholding, held in trust, is divided among eligible employees, who receive their portion of the declared dividend at the end of each financial year.
This idea was the result of Jaci's Lodges' owners' commitment to empowering the workforce and, in turn, making a difference to the lives of those in the surrounding areas. Jan and Jaci van Heteren also believed that by investing in their team they were investing in their business. "And we were right - it has paid dividends," says Jan. "We have a team that offers charming, yet discrete personalised service and hospitality par excellence," adds Jaci. "This is a legacy we hope will be passed on when we're no longer here."
Jaci's Lodges in the vast Madikwe Game Reserve in the North West Province along the Botswana border were designed, built and decorated by Jan and Jaci. They are family run, with every team member committed to providing guests with unique experiences.
