SOUTHERN Sun says the alleged theft of money from a Columbian soccer team player's room at the Southern Sun Hyde Park is still under investigation.

Two cleaning ladies at the Southern Sun hotel in Hyde Park have
appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court for allegedly stealing
money from the Colombian soccer team, reports the Business Day today.

Says md Southern Sun Graham Wood: "This incident has demonstrated that we are well prepared and our systems and process are in place to deal with incidences as and when they occur.

"We would like to take this opportunity to urge all visitors to please  look after their own valuables and make use of safes provided in hotel rooms.”

According to the report, three women were arrested on Thursday but the charges against one of the women were dropped due to lack of evidence.
