RETHA VAN ROOYEN to admit that we were woefully unprepared when my partner officially launched the first student accommodation business in the beginning of 2020 and we had to learn many difficult lessons along the way . Then COVID pandemic struck and the enforced lockdown nearly put us out of business for good , but with lots of hard work , a strong strategy with intent , and a great team of 17 amazing staff , we have achieved an amazing turnaround since then . Now for the next step , we ’ re aiming to grow the business over the next year to accommodate 1500 students around South Africa .”
