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.
