It’s one thing us showcasing our event management expertise,
it’s another hearing it from our valued clients.
Throughout our years paving the way for event production in South Africa, we have been awarded a number of accolades and recognition. We look forward to maintaining these relationships and expanding our network further into the United Kingdom.
Launchit, represented by Arlene Retzlaff have been the function organizers for our Annual Client function for the past five years and are in the process of organizing this year’s function in April.
Our continued relationship with Launchit for the sixth year in succession arises out of both the quality of and hands on professional service we have enjoyed over the years.
Our function, with well in excess of 500 attendees, most probably enjoys the reputation as the ‘number one’ Construction function in Johannesburg which credit is due to Launchit.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to you.

Chief Executive OfficerThanks once again for all your hard work and assistance during the past Mining Indaba.
To you and your lovely competent and professional staff, a big shout out.
Mining Indaba, Cape Town 2017
Head of Safety and SecurityThank you again for a massive team effort to deliver another PlatAfrica to the high professional standard we have come to expect over the past four years. Well done!
I always try and look at an event such as this not from my own highly critical perspective, but from that of those it is intended for and I have no doubt that we absolutely wowed our guests – especially those professional jewellers who have not attended PlatAfrica before. The feedback I have received at the event and this morning has been universally positive.
Gala Dinner, 2019
Head Of CommunicationThe event was an absolute success, with positive energy that was almost tangible.
The manner in which we had showcased the mine, digitalisation & technological advancement, our people, as well as demonstrating our current & future commitment was executed with perfection.
Some of the responses from the VIP guests:
“Vedanta has certainly put on a show, a great show!’’
“One would never think we were actually out there in the middle of the mine. Stepping in to the marquee was like stepping in to another world.’’
‘’How many months did it take to plan this event?’’, ‘’A few weeks – really??’’
Thank-you for allowing me to be a part of such a momentous occasion, I am prouder than ever to be a part of this amazing mining company
Well done with the launch, one could see that you are experts in this field. I must congratulate you on a well- planned event, it has been a great success. Your updates, and regular RSVP communications made everybody’s life much easier.
