Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The pool area at Avani Gaborone Resort and Casino has been renamed Moruleng in celebration of the Morula tree, one of the country\u2019s indigenous plants.<\/b><\/p>\n

The hotel\u2019s General Manager, Mr Willem Van Heerden, said this during the unveiling of the pool area which he performed together with the area Member of Parliament, Mr Tumisang Healy.<\/p>\n

Underscoring the importance of preserving cultural heritage, Mr Van Heerden said the new name is a way to tell the Botswana story, especially to tourists who would want to know the meaning of Moruleng.<\/p>\n

Further lending significance to the new name is the big Morula tree that greets guests at the hotel\u2019s terrace.<\/p>\n

Van Heerden said in recognition that the Morula fruit, known for its high Vitamin C content and a protein-rich nut, has been a source of nutrition for generations, Avani will soon introduce a Morula fruit cocktail.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will also harvest the fruit from the tree at the hotel entrance and make use of it for the morula cocktail,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The hotel\u2019s Public Relations Officer, Ms Samantha Bogopa, said the renaming followed a radio call-in competition in which listeners were asked to suggest the pool area\u2019s new name, and Moruleng was decided upon as a celebration of Botswana\u2019s culture.<\/p>\n

She also encouraged guests to take themselves pictures by the Morula tree at the hotel\u2019s entrance as part of the celebration of the tree.<\/p>\n
