- PHEMELO RAMASU BG REPORTER

In a year when the hospitalit­y industry has suffered a lot, Mosha Wellness Spa is becoming a beacon of hope for many in the industry. The local business has clinched an exciting award that shines the spotlight on Botswana.

The local business located at the Avani Gaborone Resort and Casino was last week bestowed with the Best in Luxury Spa Award by the World Spa Awards ( Africa). They were nominated alongside other luxurious Spas that include Beauty Expert by Mandala Wellness Group ( Rosebank), Camelot Spa at the African Pride ( Melrose Arch Hotel), Life Day Spa ( Fourways), Sante Wellness Retreat ( Cape

Town) and Sediko Bush Spa at Palala Boutique Game Lodge.

All the brands in this respective category are the quintessen­ce of luxury, and all stood a pretty good chance to walk away as the winner. All of the five above mentioned nominees are South African based businesses.

They were also nominated under the Best Wellness Spa in the World Luxury Spa Awards. This was the sixth edition of the World Spa Awards competitio­n. The award will arrive in Botswana sometimes in December, and it will be one big celebratio­n to finally get hold of this prestigiou­s award.

The winning tag team that is at the helm of Mosha is none other than mother and daughter team; Sharmaine Ernst and Lezanda Kubie form a formidable duo, compliment­ed by their hardworkin­g team who always go an extra mile. In an interview with BG Style, they are all smiles. It also means that it will shine the spotlight on Mosha, and when people search for luxury spa awards, the local business will also be in the same level. “We are excited about this win.

It has been a long year, and the award is inspiratio­n to everyone here,” says Kubie. She explains that they are proud about this achievemen­t, and that they are looking forward to welcoming internatio­nal tourists who wish to get a taste of Mosha magic.

“This is the perfect end to a stressful year. And we are proud to have represente­d Botswana very well,” she says adding that they appreciate the support from all those who voted for them.

She further points out that they will be featured in the World Spa Guide magazine, which will open many doors for them.
