KwaZulu-Natal notes on facilitators for hire
Durban and Umhlanga have a strong local pool of facilitators for strategy days, conflict and team sessions, many able to run a room in isiZulu and English. Departments in Pietermaritzburg book APP sessions and lekgotla days from October, often at a Midlands venue. Team building on the beach or in the Berg is popular, but plan for rain and summer heat. Bilingual MCs are booked well ahead for year-end functions in Durban.
KwaZulu-Natal: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Few provinces offer the mix of settings that KwaZulu-Natal does, from a sea view boardroom in Umhlanga to a lodge in the Drakensberg foothills. Durban brings the port, logistics and manufacturing firms, the eThekwini metro and regional head offices around Umhlanga Ridge and La Lucia. Pietermaritzburg holds the legislature and many departments, so APP and strategy sessions are steady there. Richards Bay adds heavy industry and the coal terminal, Newcastle has steel and textile plants, and sugar cane and timber run through the coastal and Midlands farms. Delegates mostly speak isiZulu and English, so bilingual facilitators and MCs are in demand. Summer is hot and humid on the coast, and the Midlands and Berg suit residential breakaways most of the year.
Typical conference MCs and moderators requests in the area come from:
- Companies and head offices: sales conferences, product launches, award evenings and year-end functions for staff
- Schools, colleges and universities: MCs for graduation, prize-giving, academic conferences and school fundraising evenings
- Government departments and municipalities: programme directors for launches, summits, budget votes and departmental award ceremonies
