The Ridge Casino (Southern Sun / Tsogo Sun)
Overview & Capacity
The Ridge is the most conference-ready of Mpumalanga's casino resorts and the easiest to reach from Joburg - roughly 120 km down the N4. The playTsogo Globe is a genuine 1,195 m2 pillarless box that flexes from a 1,200-seat plenary to an expo floor to a full concert with an in-house lighting and sound engineer and a 10x8m stage already in the building. Refreshingly, they publish conference rates (R310 half-day, R365 full), so budgeting starts on solid ground - just confirm venue hire on top. Two on-site hotels and 500-plus parking bays close the logistics loop. For a Highveld brief that needs scale, production and a short drive from OR Tambo, this is the front-runner.
B&W Production Notes
