Tresor Announces Goma: A R30 Million Luxury Farm and Creative Sanctuary

Congolese-born singer, music producer, and entrepreneur Tresor, legally known as Mukengerwa Riziki, is embarking on an ambitious venture to transform a piece of South African landscape into a destination for luxury, creativity, and innovation. Tresor has recently acquired a 202-hectare farm located in the historically rich Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage site in Gauteng, with plans to invest an impressive R30 million into developing it into a state-of-the-art, luxury farm named "Goma."

Goma, named after Tresor’s hometown in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is envisioned as a mixed-use property that will cater to cultural and artistic experiences. This luxury project will feature a variety of attractions including upscale restaurants, an outdoor amphitheatre for live performances, a fully equipped recording studio, an art and exhibition gallery that will showcase African talent, a designer boutique hotel that promises guests a unique stay, and exclusive venues perfect for celebrating special occasions.

For Tresor, Goma represents not only an investment in property but also an investment in culture. Through Goma, Tresor aims to offer a sanctuary where individuals can experience "slow living" and unplug from the frantic pace of modern life. But more than just a retreat, Goma is set to serve as the headquarters for the Jacquel Group, further establishing Tresor's stake as a business leader and incubator for creative initiatives.

Drawing from his personal narrative, the farm is a testament to Tresor's journey and determination. Having left his home in 2007 in pursuit of a better life, Tresor's success story spread from guarding cars and ensuring security at night in Durban to becoming a celebrated musician and a visionary entrepreneur. Goma stands as an embodiment of the possibilities that await when persistence meets opportunity.

In realizing the architectural aspects of this grande vision, Tresor is not holding back. He has garnered the expertise of renowned architect Luis Mira, a talent well-respected for creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional. This collaboration promises to result in the meticulous crafting of a space where every element is an intentional part of the greater vision for Goma—a serene yet vibrant hub where lifestyle, music, fashion, film, visual arts, and emerging technologies coalesce.

Through Goma, Tresor not only intends to create a luxury farm and creative sanctuary; he's aiming to create an environment where innovation thrives. With the future of Goma stretching out over a 3-year development period, the project is poised to become a landmark of luxury tourism, cultural depth, and creative expression.

As this daring project unfolds, the music producer-turned-entrepreneur looks to his roots to cultivate growth, infusing Goma with the essence of his journey and the spirit of his African heritage. This luxury farm and creative powerhouse are set to redefine the intersection of hospitality, culture, and innovation, staying true to Tresor's vision of crafting an impactful legacy in South Africa.
