Facilitators for hire in East London: local notes
Provincial departments in Bhisho and Buffalo City often need a strategic planning facilitator who can run an APP session for 30 or more people, with a co-facilitator and breakouts. Lodges along the coast toward Gonubie and Kei Mouth take groups for a two-day bosberaad. Facilitators working in isiXhosa and English are in demand for municipal imbizos and community meetings in Mdantsane.
Facilitation work in East London
Provincial government is the biggest client for facilitators in the Buffalo City area. Bhisho, the Eastern Cape's capital, lies inland near Qonce, and its departments and the legislature book APP sessions, lekgotla and leadership programmes, often in East London's hotels or a lodge near the coast. A car plant and its suppliers, the industrial development zone and the port add shop floor and safety training. Businesses in Vincent and Beacon Bay hold strategy days and year-end functions, while NPOs, clinics and schools in Mdantsane run community workshops in isiXhosa. The university and TVET colleges book staff development. Facilitators are local, or drive from Gqeberha in about three hours. Coastal summers are warm and humid, and winters stay mild.
Typical conference MCs and moderators requests in the area come from:
- Government departments and municipalities: programme directors for launches, summits, budget votes and departmental award ceremonies
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: safety award days, long-service functions and industry body conferences
- Companies and head offices: sales conferences, product launches, award evenings and year-end functions for staff
