Events in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga is known for bush and escarpment venues, from game lodges near Hazyview and the Kruger Park to garden venues around White River, Sabie and Graskop. Weddings, corporate retreats and team building are the main bookings, with conferences in Mbombela, eMalahleni and Middelburg, and community events, funerals and church gatherings in towns across the province. Lowveld summers are hot, humid and stormy, while Highveld winter nights are cold, so heating and shade both matter. Many lodges are remote, which affects delivery and setup time. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Mbombela, eMalahleni and Middelburg, and travel to lodges and farms.
Typical event security requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: two guards at the gate and the grounds to watch the gifts, the cars and gatecrashers
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: access control at a launch or year-end function, with a guard on the bar and the parking
- Conferences, launches and expos: badge checks at the doors, guards on the exhibition floor and VIP escorts for speakers
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: marshals and guards for a funeral, an unveiling or a church event with a large crowd and parked cars
- Birthdays and private parties: a guard at the gate of a house or farm party to keep it to the guest list
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a full team for gates, bag checks, crowd control and the stage, working to a written safety plan
- School events and matric dances: gate control and parking marshals for a fun day, a prize-giving or a matric dance
