The eThekwini municipality, hospitals and the TVET colleges bring imbizos, induction and learnerships. Conferences fill the beachfront hotels and the convention precinct near the CBD for much of the year. Facilitators work in isiZulu and English, and many delegates fly in to the airport at La Mercy.
