When it opened in 1979, Sun City--with four hotels, a 6,000-seat arena and a 46-acre manmade lake for water sports--became a favored destination for whites in Johannesburg and Pretoria who wanted to escape their nation's moral restrictions and gamble, view soft-porn movies and watch topless showgirls, white and black.
