What to know locally in North West
Mines around Rustenburg and Brits hire facilitators for stakeholder meetings with host communities, as well as supervisor and team sessions, and they value someone who can work in Setswana. Departments in Mahikeng book strategy and APP sessions, sometimes at a lodge in the Pilanesberg area. Hartbeespoort is popular for corporate team building and bosberaad style days, because Gauteng teams can drive out and home again the same day.
North West: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Platinum shapes much of the training calendar in North West. Mines and their contractors around Rustenburg and Brits book safety inductions, supervisor development, community engagement workshops and learnerships year round. Mahikeng, the provincial capital, brings the legislature and departments, with strategy and APP sessions for the public sector. Potchefstroom is a university town with education conferences, and Klerksdorp and Lichtenburg serve gold mining and the maize farms of the western plains. Hartbeespoort and the Magaliesberg sit close enough to Pretoria that Gauteng teams drive out for strategy days and team building by the dam. Setswana is the main home language, with Afrikaans and English widely used, so check the language of any community session before choosing a facilitator.
The requests we see from North West usually come from:
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: mine, plant and agribusiness leadership sessions on growth, costs and safety
- NPOs, churches and community groups: NPO board strategy days and three-year plans prepared for funders
- Schools, colleges and universities: university and college strategy sessions, and school development planning with governing bodies
