Free State notes on facilitators for hire
Departments and the metro in Bloemfontein book facilitators for strategic planning, APP sessions and staff meetings, and many local facilitators work in Sesotho and Afrikaans as well as English. Agricultural cooperatives and farmer groups use facilitators for planning days in the off season. Clarens and the guest farms near Harrismith are popular for leadership breakaways, with hikes and outdoor activities when the weather allows. Year-end MCs are booked well ahead in Bloemfontein.
Facilitation work in Free State
Central placement is the Free State's advantage: Bloemfontein sits on the N1 between Gauteng and the Cape, so national organisations sometimes meet here halfway. The city is the seat of the legislature and provincial departments, and also hosts universities and the Supreme Court of Appeal, which keeps public sector and education work steady. Gold mining shaped Welkom and the Goldfields, the petrochemical plants at Sasolburg need technical and safety training, and maize, sunflower and cattle farms fill the platteland around Kroonstad and Bethlehem. The eastern Free State, with Clarens and the mountains near Harrismith, suits strategy breakaways and team building. Sesotho and Afrikaans are the main languages after English. Winter here is genuinely cold, so check that venues are heated.
Typical meeting facilitators requests in the area come from:
- Government departments and municipalities: imbizos, ward meetings and stakeholder forums with residents, business and departments
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: mine and community forums, and union and management meetings on operational topics
- NPOs, churches and community groups: AGMs for NPOs, clubs, body corporates and stokvels, and church council meetings

The sessions that come up most: departmental strategy, farm and plant training, eastern Free State breakaways. When you ask for quotes, ask whether winter sessions include heating in the room and breakaways.
Around Free State the largest group asking is government departments and municipalities, which usually means imbizos, ward meetings and stakeholder forums with residents, business and departments. Before you agree to anything: send the agenda before the meeting. Getting there: on the N1 and N3, about four hours by road from Johannesburg to Bloemfontein.
