  • Virtual Fencing and Autonomous Herding 2024
    Halter

    Halter developed solar-powered, GPS-enabled IoT collars for dairy and beef cattle that use sound and vibration cues to guide animals. The system uses AI to automate herd movements and create virtual fences, allowing farmers to manage pasture and stock remotely via a mobile app.

    Enabled precise pasture utilization, reduced labor requirements for shifting stock, and improved environmental compliance by keeping cattle out of waterways without physical fencing.

Local demand signals 5

Sector-level context showing where this capability is relevant in Pretoria.

01

Government and Public Administration

Pretoria is South Africa's administrative capital, hosting government departments, ministries, and foreign embassies — relevant for delegates in governance, compliance, and public-sector training.

02

Science, Research and Technology

The CSIR, headquartered on its Pretoria campus, is Africa's largest R&D organisation. Combined with two major universities, the city is a hub for applied research and technology skills development.

03

Defence and Aerospace

Pretoria hosts the SANDF headquarters and state-owned defence manufacturer Denel, making it relevant for delegates in defence, security, and aerospace sectors.

04

Higher Education and Distance Learning

UNISA, headquartered in Pretoria, is the largest distance-learning university in Africa, making the city a natural fit for education-sector and e-learning training programmes.

05

Telecommunications

Telkom, South Africa's national fixed-line operator, is headquartered in Pretoria, anchoring the city's role in the country's telecommunications infrastructure.

Training venue

Pretoria offers a solid range of 4- and 5-star hotels and dedicated conference facilities in suburbs such as Hatfield, Brooklyn, and Centurion. The CSIR International Convention Centre is a purpose-built venue frequently used for professional training and conferences.

Getting there

No direct flights are confirmed from New Zealand to Pretoria’s nearest major airport, O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg; Air New Zealand shows Auckland (AKL) to Johannesburg (JNB), which is typically a connecting itinerary for Pretoria onward travel rather than a nonstop to Pretoria. Approximate long-haul time is around 16–18 hours to Johannesburg, with onward ground transfer or separate domestic connection to Pretoria.

Visa

New Zealand passport holders can enter South Africa visa-free for up to 90 days, so a 5-day professional training trip to Pretoria does not require a visa. The New Zealand Government’s SafeTravel page confirms South Africa entry guidance for New Zealand travellers and notes dual South African/New Zealand citizens must use their South African passport if they hold South African citizenship.

Safety

Avoid wearing visible jewellery, keep valuables concealed, and do not walk alone at night — use ride-hailing services for evening travel. Stay in well-known suburbs such as Hatfield, Brooklyn, or Waterkloof and remain aware of your surroundings in the CBD.
