What to know locally in Upington
Solar project operators and their community trusts book facilitators for stakeholder meetings, trust board strategy days and conflict sessions, which need patience and a clear record of agreements. Grape farms use facilitators for worker forums and supervisor team days, mostly in Afrikaans. Municipalities along the river hold planning sessions toward the end of the year. Few facilitators live locally, so travel costs are a big part of the budget.
Upington: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Upington is the service town for the Green Kalahari. Irrigated vineyards, table grapes and dried fruit farms line the Orange River, and several large solar power plants in the district have brought construction, operations and community development work. Typical bookings are farm worker and supervisor training, community trust and stakeholder meetings for the solar projects, municipal strategy sessions and school staff development. Venues are guest houses and lodges along the river, with conference rooms in town and on farms at Kanoneiland and Kakamas. Distances are long: many facilitators fly into the airport from Johannesburg or Cape Town. Summer heat regularly exceeds what outdoor activities can handle, so plan early mornings.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- NPOs, churches and community groups: volunteer training, first aid awareness and skills courses in NPO programmes
- Government departments and municipalities: training for officials on new procedures, systems and frontline service standards
- Small and family businesses: product training for sales staff and short courses when a small team takes on new systems
