Emnotweni Arena makes its mark
On February 12, the Arena hosts the Sign Africa and Africa Print Regional Expo which showcases the latest equipment and consumables related to the signage.
Just two months after its official opening, the new state-of-the-art Emnotweni has made its mark as a hub for lifestyle events, concerts, and expos held at the Arena. Between December and January, it has played host to Lira, Theuns Jordaan, Lowveld Media, Pumas Rugby, Avroy Slain and a series of grand scale corporate functions.
On February 12, the Arena hosts the Sign Africa and Africa Print Regional Expo which showcases the latest equipment and consumables related to the signage, display and digital printing, to help existing businesses grow customers, client offerings and remain at the forefront of technology. It is also an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn more about the signage and printing industry and generate ideas around the kind of equipment to buy for their start up opportunities, or incorporate into, their existing businesses. Visitors will be able to investigate, T-shirt printing, mug printing, textile, vinyl cutters, stamps, branding, and start up solutions available in this industry. There is no entrance fee.
Buoyed by the overwhelming response to the opening specials, Emnotweni has extended the discounted packages available at the Arena to companies and individuals booking the venue for events until the end of August this year.
“We are bowled-over by the fantastic response to our opening packages. We are also heartened by the nature and caliber of events being hosted at the Arena. We look forward to hosting the Sign Africa and Print Regional Expo this month,” says Ig Olivier, General Manager at Emnotweni Casino.

The venue can also be divided-to provide for smaller, more intimate functions. Half day packages start at R295 per person, and full day packages start at R395 per person. This includes catering for at least two tea breaks, lunch and venue hire.
The full venue can be hired for the day for large events at R12 000 per day, and half of the venue can be rented for R6 000 per day.
