Collen Mashawana paid an emotional tribute to his dad, Vho Mbulungeni Beth Mashawana - who passed away 10 years ago.

The Afribiz founder opened up about losing his dad and he shared the amazing tribute he paid to his late father.

Mashawana revealed that ever since he could remember, his dad - whom he described as a caring man full of jokes - dreamed of converting the home they grew up in into a hotel.

The businessman added that his father did his best to give his children the best he could offer and he wanted to return the favour to his dad.

"Our father’s first property dream was turning the house that we grew up in at Thohoyandou Golgotha into a hotel. He would draw the envisaged plan on a piece of paper and explain the dream structure to us as his family, his neighbours and anyone passing by the street who cared to listen," Mashawana revealed.
