It is with great sadness that the APTA community has learned of the passing of Steve Fitzgerald. He was well known, greatly respected, and much loved throughout our industry – first as founder of Halcyon Hotels, then managing director and CEO of CCAfrica (later &Beyond) for 15 years. Most recently, he and wife Nicky built and managed Angama Mara in the Maasai Mara, Kenya, along with their daughter Kate. Fitzgerald underwent a successful heart transplant on September 24 and was well on his way to a full recovery when he succumbed to unrelated complications.

Steve’s life will be celebrated with a funeral service at St George’s Anglican Church, Parktown on Thursday, October 26 at 11h30. The service will be followed by a light lunch at 17 Abbotswold Road, Saxonwold
