Dr Malinga plans to build his own resort & water park

Dr Malinga has dubbed himself "a man with solutions" and his latest business venture is a resort and water park for the African summer.

The musician is on a mission to leave generational wealth in his family, come hell or high water, and told TshisaLIVE he is building two resorts to provide a "solution" in his hometown of Hammanskraal and Siyabuswa. 

"Everyone that knows me, knows that I am a solutions guy. I think of solutions and the reason I am different from other people is that I always look for ways to bring those solutions to people. So now, I am busy building a resort, one that will have swimming facilities and chillas equipment like braai stands, one in Hammanskraal and one in Siyabuswa," he said.

Dr Malinga, who burst into the industry with his high-waisted pants and high kicks almost a decade ago, has launched many products under his name and figured why should he have a regular store to sell his merchandise when he can have a resort that doubles up as a one-stop-shop for everything he sells?

"I am all about making sure that my family and the families of people around me are taken care for in the future. I am not afraid to fail and the one thing I am great at is trying. So I am going to make this (the resorts) happen. So that people are employed and my products have a home. Yes, it is ambitious but everything that is meant to be will be."

He told TshisaLIVE that he has a dream to eventually be international and take his businesses into Africa.

The musician also emphasised that he hasn't neglected making music and on Thursday dropped a new song titled, Indlela, featuring Kwesta.
