Mthatha: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Mthatha is the main town of the old Transkei region and a centre for public services across a mostly rural area. The OR Tambo district and King Sabata Dalindyebo municipality offices, provincial departments, hospitals, a university and TVET colleges book planning sessions, staff development and leadership programmes. NPOs, traditional councils and community structures in the surrounding villages run imbizos and workshops, almost always in isiXhosa. Retailers and small businesses in the CBD need customer service and SDF support. Venues are mostly hotels and guest houses in town, with some lodges on the road to the Wild Coast. Many facilitators drive from East London or fly in to the local airport, so travel costs and dates need planning. Rural sessions may need generators and transport.
