Mahikeng notes on facilitators for hire
Departments, the legislature and municipalities book facilitators for strategic planning, APP reviews, oversight committee workshops and imbizos. A facilitator who knows the public sector planning cycle and can run sessions in Setswana is a strong asset. For multi-day planning, many groups go to a lodge outside town. MCs for awards and departmental year-end events are also in steady demand.
Mahikeng: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Government is the largest employer in Mahikeng. The North West provincial departments and the legislature are based in Mmabatho, so strategic planning, APP sessions, oversight workshops and public participation meetings make up most of the facilitation work. A university campus and a TVET college add education demand, and cattle farming around Lichtenburg and Zeerust brings agricultural training. Venues are mostly government-linked conference rooms, hotels and guest houses in Mmabatho, plus lodges and game farms in the surrounding bushveld. The city is far from Gauteng, about three and a half to four hours by road, so many outside facilitators budget for a night or two. Setswana is the main language for community sessions.
The requests we see from Mahikeng usually come from:
- Government departments and municipalities: programme directors for launches, summits, budget votes and departmental award ceremonies
- Schools, colleges and universities: MCs for graduation, prize-giving, academic conferences and school fundraising evenings
