Tourism KwaZulu-Natal (TKZN) started day one of World Travel Market Africa, which commenced today at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, on a high note with their stand buzzing with meetings.

WTM Africa 2023 is an exclusive B2B event that brings together 6000 travel industry professionals from across the world to focus on the opportunities and issues that will drive commercial success for the African travel industry.

“We see WTM Africa as a precursor to the Africa Travel Indaba (ATI) which takes place at the Durban ICC in May, and we are using this platform to secure more meetings with top international buyers at Africa Travel Indaba taking place at the Durban ICC in May.

“Therefore, platforms like these are critical for us as a destination marketing agency, as we continue our drive to ensure the province is included on international travel itineraries,” said Pinky Radebe Senior PR and Communications Manager at Tourism KZN.

WTM Africa is attended by leading travel trade professionals from several international markets, that play a vital role in selling and packaging destinations across the globe.

Tourism KZN is exhibiting alongside partners Durban Direct, which is already meeting with potential airline partners to lobby for more direct flights to KwaZulu-Natal, and Isimangaliso Wetland Park.

“We have strategically partnered with sister entities like Isimangaliso Wetland Park which offers a world-renowned tourism experience as well as Dube Trade Port and Trade and Investment KZN who champion issues of Air Access through the Durban Direct initiative.

Air access and connectivity to KZN, which are at the centre of the Province’s Recovery Strategy, are high on the TKZN agenda at WTMA, because the easier it is to access a region the more people are likely to visit it.

Also, at the TKZN pavilion are some outstanding KZN tourism products such as Dragon View Lodge in the Drakensberg, Fordoun Hotel and Spa in the KZN Midlands and Shayamanzi House Boats Jozini Northern KZN to showcase what destination KZN has to offer to local and international travel buyers who attend the show every year.

Tourism KZN has also taken two of its tourism Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) King Shaka Golf Tours and Thokazi Lodge to WTM Africa.

“It is important for us to ensure that we provide market access opportunities for smaller and emerging tourism entrepreneurs, and events like WTM Africa serve as a platform where our SMMEs can engage with international buyers to secure deals that help them grow their businesses,” said Radebe.

Tourism KZN will be exhibiting at WTM Africa from 3 to 5 April in Hall 1 stand R15.

A new look Africa’s Travel Indaba is set to re-energise delegates from across the world when the show takes place in Durban from the 8th to the 11th of May.

Yesterday, new Minister of Tourism, Patricia de Lille; tourism role players and members of the media gathered at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre in the city of Durban, to officially start the countdown to Africa’s Travel Indaba 2023.

With about six weeks to go before Africa’s Travel Indaba 2023 doors open, the trade show will not only have a new look but also promises a packed schedule with an even stronger emphasis on networking for optimising business opportunities for both exhibitors and buyers alike. Also joined by some virtual participants during the launch event, Minister de Lille highlighted the role Africa’s Travel Indaba plays in contributing to Africa’s tourism sector recovery and growth post the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Now it is up to each and every one of us to play our part to re-ignite the AFRICAN economy. We win, when we ALL win! Africa’s Travel Indaba presents us with an opportunity to continue with the efforts we started last year when the sector met in person for the first time post the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Minister de Lille.

This year’s installment of Africa’s Travel Indaba will see the return of some iconic events while also introducing new additions. Africa’s Travel Indaba will once again host SMMEs from various provinces in South Africa. They will showcase their products and experiences to the thousands of delegates that will attend this year’s edition. Adding to this variety of product offering will be the more established businesses from across the African continent who will be exhibiting throughout the three-day show. 

Some delegates who will attend Africa’s Travel Indaba will be hosted on pre and post tours to familiarise them with the province’s tourism offerings. This is set to bring much needed economic injection into the city of Durban and the KZN province at large as international

“Our projections indicate that Africa’s Travel Indaba for 2023 will contribute over R130 million to the city’s GDP and create over 250 job opportunities. We anticipate a hotel occupancy rate of 90% which will be a major boost for the hospitality sector, said Councillor Phili Mbatha-Ndlovu; EThekwini Deputy Chairperson for Economic Development and Planning Committee. She added that the City is ready to roll-out a red carpet for all the delegates attending Indaba”.

Commenting on the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) state of readiness to host the Africa’s Travel Indaba 2023, Acting CEO of Tourism KZN, Mr Nhlanhla Khumalo said that “KwaZulu-Natal has more than 20 years’ experience in hosting Africa’s Travel Indaba together with a number of world class events and we are confident that this year will be no different. The province has adequate accommodation establishments within a reasonable travel distance to the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre. With a number of airlines that fly directly to King Shaka International Airport (KSIA), domestic and international delegates should travel with ease to the province.”

He also reiterated that Tourism KZN is working very closely with law enforcement agencies to ensure that delegates who will be attending Africa’s Travel Indaba will be safe in the province.

During the launch event, there was a panel discussion focusing on the contribution of Africa’s Travel Indaba to the tourism sector recovery. Various industry representatives highlighted the value of Indaba and extended an invite to both buyers and delegates to come to South Africa. The panel included:
• Mr. Themba Khumalo – Acting Chief Executive Officer: South African Tourism
• Mr. David Frost – Chief Executive Officer: Southern Africa Tourism Services Association (SATSA)

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport announces the opening of the N3 between Hilton and Cedara after long hours of closure following a multi vehicle crash this afternoon.

 

The vehicles have now started to move amid long backlogs of traffic on the N3 northbound (Johannesburg bound).

 

Various government response emergencies have had to work tirelessly to ensure the reopening of the freeway.

 

The road was opened after the recovery of all the five bodies of the deceased, assisting survivors on scene and transporting critical patients to health care facilities for urgent medical attention.

 

This multi disciplinary team has had to work hard in removing the wreckages of five trucks, eight minibus taxis and twenty-two light motor vehicles which were involved in the pile up.

 

Through an integrated government’s response, various interventions are being made including setting up shelter in uMngeni Town Hall and activating an emergency contact centre.

 

Various social partners are also mobilized and are also assisting the affected motorists and public transport commuters.

 

The taxi industry is also providing alternative transport to public transport commuters who may wish to continue with their journey to their respective destinations.

 

Commenting on the road reopening the KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Sipho Hlomuka has commended the hard work by various emergency services.

 

We acknowledge the magnitude of this horrific accident and the trauma felt by all those involved is unbearable. We once again wish to send our deepest condolences to all the affected families and wish a speedy recovery to all those who sustained injuries.

 

Some motorists have been stuck for hours and lost alot of time in traffic.

 

We however wish to salute all the emergency response teams for a job well done under such unfavorable weather conditions.

 

As provincial authorities, we are hugely disappointed with the fatal crashes recorded during this Easter weekend.

 

We appeal to those who will be continuing with their journey and those who are still going to embark to be on high alert and ensure maximum adherence to traffic regulations.

 

To those who still wish to locate their family members or get a status update on the road are urged to contact the emergency contact centre number on 033 940 8484. (SANRAL - 10/4/2023)

 

 

Jenny Hammond responded with, "And a huge vote of thanks to the Hilton residents who immediately did all they could to assist the stranded travelers."

 

St Michael's Ambulance Service member from the scene said, "Wow what a crazy night! Another opportunity for the human race to prove that people are so special. Thank you Midlands Community."

 

Local resident Cathy Berry's comment affirms the need and appreciation for these combined efforts, "True story. Bill and I dropped Avi off yesterday and were stuck in traffic a couple of KMs from the Hilton offramp from 16.00 until just before midnight. (Good thing we like each other)! We had someone come to the car with sandwiches and water and an offer of blankets."

 

"Thank you for every single one who dropped off blankets, food, water, tea, coffee, milk, baby nappies, soap, toothpaste and everything inbetween. We live in one incredible community who stand together in time of need." Hilton Buddies representative. 

 

"I sit in the quiet of the Hilton Town Hall. Trying to comprehend the devastation of what has happened, the loss of lives, the trauma of the survivors, a new baby that lost their mom today! 

Whilst people sleep to wake to the reality of this nightmare tomorrow morning I sit with gratitude to every single person, business, road official, security group personal, citizen, civic group that stepped up to show the real meaning of Ubuntu today.

It is is hard to comprehend the amount of love that the uMngeni and abroad community has for complete strangers! Blankets, food, tea, coffee, sanitary wear, toiletries, baby needs.

Amongst the chaos and loss of today, there is hope, hope for humanity, hope for our country.

Sending love and strength to all victims and families of those that didn't see the end of today. May they Rest In Peace." reflected Councillor Kate Janse van Rensburg.

Thank you to every big-hearted person for fruit, soup, sandwiches, water, coffee, tea, innumerable basic essentials, warmth and care given generously. What remained unused is beng collected for a Winter drive.

Jarred van Alphen and Kai Broom completed the Drakensberg Grand Traverse in 2022, a hike of 250 km within 10 days. This was an incredible achievement, especially since the boys carried their packs each weighing 21kg.

The Drakensberg Grand Traverse is the highest, hardest, and longest hike in South Africa. It stretches 250km of the Drakensberg escarpment from the Sentinel Car Park in the North (near Harrismith) to Bushmans Nek in the South (near Underberg). Hikers climb over 11000 vertical meters, ascending as high as 3480m above sea level and sometimes descending below 3000m; the average altitude throughout the walk is 3000m/a/s/l. We will also summit the five highest peaks along the escarpment, namely: Mont-aux-Sources (3281m), Champagne Castle (3377m); Mafadi (3450m), Giants Castle (3319m); and Thabana Ntlenyana (3489m).

Since their achievement in 2022, Jarred and Kai have wanted to challenge themselves further. Initially, they wanted to run the whole DGT; however, they were advised not to as their bodies are too young. A decision was made to run just half of the Traverse, starting from the Northern Berg at the Sentinel Car Park and running through to the Central Berg at Monks Cowl.

Pierre Jordaan, a seasoned Traverse Trail Runner, accompanied the boys as a guide. Starting at 03h00 on Monday the 27th of March, the team ran 75 km. Overnighting in Didima Cave. The day was tough as this was the boys' longest hiking day ever, previously Jarred had only covered 40km in a day’s hike, and Kai had only covered 60km in a day’s hike.

The route contained many ascents and descents, which combined with the distance and time, took an effect on the team’s knees and legs. Tuesday the 28th of March, saw the boys starting at 06h00 and beginning the final 25km descent down Grays pass to Monks Cowl.

Overall the trip was incredible, covering 100km. Running a half Traverse is the most difficult challenge that Jarred and Kai have accomplished. The physicality of the run, combined with the time spent running on Day 1, which was 18 hours, made this a challenging yet rewarding expedition.

In the business world, knowing how to successfully manage workflow or flow is key.

Simply put, flow is the movement and delivery of customer value through a process. Not having a good grip on flow means that an organisation cannot sustainably deliver value to its customers. In short, bad workflow means a constant struggle to accomplish more and faster which results in added stress.

“People often think that workflow is about how busy people in an organisation are, how many tasks they still need to do, or are in the process of doing, but this is incorrect. Workflow is in fact a measure of how quickly a business can respond to the changing demands of their customers in a sustainable and predictable way,” says Rochelle Roos, a flow coach, trainer, and co-founder of We Do Change.

Flow is one of the six practices of Kanban, a philosophy strongly endorsed by Roos, who is on a mission to challenge existing models that focus on managing people.

“When we talk about managing flow, people wrongly assume we are referring to managing people (keeping them busy). We need to flip the narrative on its head and focus on the work, not the people,” explains Roos. “Instead of managing people it is about examining the process of value generation to customers. What are the dominant activities that customer requests need to go through? And where are the handoffs between people, teams and departments so that work is moved quickly from start to done. Flow moves the needle closer to customer satisfaction.”

According to Roos, there are five simple steps to successfully managing and improving the flow of work:

1. Choose an area not a person
Focusing on individuals or teams has the lowest impact when it comes to organisational flow. When individuals in an organisation feel that they and their workload is being managed, it can lead to undesired side-effects like experienced and knowledgeable staff wanting to leave or becoming disgruntled.

Instead, Roos suggests identifying a level of the organisation where you want to improve workflow. Remember, the higher up in the organisation, the bigger the impact of the change. Once the level has been chosen, you want to work as a team not alone, so involve the relevant people that are part of executing the process.

2. Visualise it to see it
Visualise your process,” says Roos. “The practice around visualising should provide you with a current and shared view of your “real” situations and then using data to better understand the behaviour of our flow-based system.”
We must make several big and small decisions every day. In the workplace this means working out which tasks to start, and which are more important than others. If we don't have the right visibility on the big picture, we will be making decisions in isolation and these can have a negative ripple effect. Most often, it creates more pressure for people downstream that are forced to multi-task, which can lead to a chaotic working environment and burnout.

3. Don’t starve, but don’t overload
There is a common misperception that to be efficient, twice as many tasks need to be delivered in the same period. While we do see an increase in delivery rates in many systems over time, the focus should be on crafting smooth and predictable workflow and consciously tracking and making decisions around work waiting times and how to address that. If the workload is too much, then a prioritisation system must be put in place to help break things down and identify what task is most important.

4. Flush out time wasting
Using this visualisation, identify long queues which are impacting productivity and efficiency and flush them out. This will mean starting with a small manageable workload initially that can be completed quickly, which will lead to more even flow and therefore higher levels of predictability. The aim here is to stop starting new tasks and focus on finishing existing ones. Only then can you flush out the time wasting.

5. Measure things
Measure the time it takes from starting an item to its delivery and monitor the incoming requests or work, as well as the delivery rate of these requests, over a period - the aim is to balance customer demand with staff capacity. What you want to do is reduce the average ‘age’ of tasks in your systems (how long a task must wait before being actioned).

Where specific work items are getting too old, schedule the right conversations at the right time with the right people about how to finish them so that you are always actively measuring progress.

At We Do Change, we use data to better understand the behaviour of our flow-based systems and identify opportunities for improvement and experimental collaboration.

While some see ChatGPT as the potential end of creativity and original work, its capabilities make it a beneficial tool that tech-savvy students, and teachers, can leverage in a number of academic areas. The artificial intelligence system, with its ability to summarise information, construct questions, and refine written work, among many other things, makes it a tool that can enhance a student’s original thinking, and keep them up to date in the advancing world of technology.

“Learning in any realm – whether it’s in school, university, or professionally – is a way to train your brain. When used effectively, ChatGPT can become an additional, practical tool to help students unlock creativity, generate content, and increase their potential for improved performance and future learning,” says Rebecca Pretorius, Country Manager at Crimson Education, a global EdTech company that helps students with the complex application process to top universities abroad.

While ChatGPT can be leveraged effectively in a number of ways, there are currently limitations. Despite having 570 GB of data sources, such as books and websites, it cannot recognise misinformation in its own writing, or in the sources at its disposal. It also has no knowledge of events, or information after the end of 2021, due to the amount of data it has the capacity to be trained on. The combination of these two factors means the programme is a relatively unreliable source of specific facts, and data.

Outside of these limitations, the AI programme’s capabilities are a valuable academic tool; “Students can think of ChatGPT as an interactive past paper or a study guide that adapts to their specific academic needs. Whether students need study tips or help with generating coherent and grammatically correct sentences, ChatGPT can be used to assist students in writing college application, and other, essays.,” says Pretorius.

Crimson Education’s team of educational experts have identified the following ways to use ChatGPT as a tool for your learning:

1. Content generator: With its ability to generate coherent and grammatically correct sentences, ChatGPT can be beneficial if you struggle with grammar and sentence structure, or if you are looking for new ideas. It can provide a starting point, which you can edit and revise to suit your own writing style and voice. This is a particularly useful tool for students whose first language is not English.
2. Simplify complex topics: If you are struggling to understand a topic, ChatGPT can assist in breaking it down. For example, you can ask the programme to give you a 100-word explanation of a topic, that only includes the most important facts. This can assist you when studying, as you now know the main points to be looking out for.
3. Question generator: Not only can you ask ChatGPT questions; you can also prompt it to create questions for you, based on the subject information you provide it with. This can be a valuable preparation technique when getting ready for tests or exams.
4. Finding useful resources: ChatGPT’s extensive dataset means it can be leveraged as an additional source of information, both for writing, and learning. If you are writing an application essay, or completing an assignment; you can prompt the programme to give you a set number of references and resources that will be beneficial to your given topic.

With a primary focus on helping students gain admission into top overseas universities, such as the Ivy League and Oxbridge, Crimson Education provides students with individualised support, guided by data-driven modelling and proprietary technology, to unlock access to the best-fit university for them. As EdTech continues to advance, the mentorship company helps students prepare, and adapt to, the shifting technological landscape they are exposed to, at school and beyond.
