Mahala is a colloquial Zulu word for anything that is acquired without payment, or effort.
When it comes to holidays and occasional travel, the Town Lodge Group not only competes with other hotel chains and Airbnb – they compete with Zulu tradition. Truth is, in these tough economic times many of us opt for this “mahala” option. A lot of the times in life, the things we think are free, end up costing us the most. By weighing up the real cost of all things mahala, we were able to liberate South Africans from the bondage of yet another holiday at home.
