Gauteng notes on facilitators for hire
Gauteng has the widest choice of facilitators in the country, from executive strategy specialists who work with boards in Sandton to team building crews who run outdoor days in Muldersdrift and the Magaliesberg. Departments in Pretoria book APP and annual performance planning sessions from October, so the experienced public sector facilitators go first. Bilingual MCs for awards evenings are easy to find, as are graphic recorders for conferences in Midrand and Rosebank.
Facilitation work in Gauteng
More sessions are booked in Gauteng than anywhere else in the country, simply because so many head offices, national departments and their agencies sit between Pretoria and Johannesburg. Strategy days for corporate executive teams in Sandton and Rosebank, APP sessions for departments in Pretoria, induction and compliance training for call centres and warehouses in Midrand and Ekurhuleni, and year-end functions that need an MC all happen in the same few months. Most facilitators, training providers and AV firms are based here and travel out to other provinces. Venues range from office park conference centres to hotels near OR Tambo and lodges in the Cradle of Humankind. Plan around traffic, afternoon thunderstorms in summer and a full diary from October.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Companies and head offices: strategy days, team sessions and cross-department workshops at head offices and regional branches
- Schools, colleges and universities: staff development days, school governing body planning and district workshops for principals
- Government departments and municipalities: departmental planning, stakeholder consultations, indabas and imbizos run by a neutral outside facilitator

Facilitators usually suits teams, boards, staff groups and communities. The work: design, run the session, write up outcomes. For companies and head offices, the biggest group here, that usually means strategy days, team sessions and cross-department workshops at head offices and regional branches.
