Ubuntu Kraal Conference Centre

Description

Ubuntu Kraal, situated in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Soweto, this is a little piece of African tranquillity just kilometres from the centre of Johannesburg.

Th Ubuntu conference building can hold up to 500 people. It caters for a wide range of events, from graduation ceremonies and jazz concerts, to weddings and marketing events.

Inside the conference centre, soothing traditional music plays in the background, adding to the tranquillity of the venue. Specially trained staff ensures that the needs of the particular client are met, adjusting the layout of the tables and chairs, ensuring the appropriate equipment is available.

Visitors using the thatched lapas for the day can choose to use a fully equipped self-catering unit or book the in-house catering service. 

Ubuntu Kraal in-house catering service, supplies visitors with traditional food, including samp, ting (sour porridge), mogodu (tripe), mopane worms and morogo. Other items include a finger lunch of meat dishes, vegetables and salads or a braai menu of chicken peri-peri, rump steak, traditional wors served with pap, rolls, roasted potato and tomato gravy. The costs of the set menus vary, depending on what visitors choose. 

A traditional African ethos - ubuntu - permeates the venue. The triangular arch at the entrance is painted with the geometric patterns typical of Ndebele art. 

Alongside the conference centre is a train carriage on a 4m-railway track. It is an old-style maroon and gold South African Railway carriage, with wooden benches and bunks that could be made into beds for an overnight trip. Nxumalo plans to refurbish the carriage and turn it into a restaurant and a hideaway for newly weds.
