The Durban International Convention Centre (ICC) has been named South Africa’s Best Convention Centre at the 2024 World Meeting Incentive Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) Awards. The prestigious ceremony took place in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on September 4, 2024.
Durban ICC outshone other leading South African venues such as the Cape Town International Convention Centre, CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria, and Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.
Durban ICC CEO, Ms. Lindiwe Rakharebe, accepted the award, highlighting the venue’s consistent excellence. “We worked hard to bring this honor to Durban once again,” she said. Rakharebe noted the ICC’s ability to deliver diverse event experiences, citing Durban’s ideal weather, infrastructure, and unique cultural attractions.
The Durban ICC, which opened in 1997 by former president Nelson Mandela, has been a key player in hosting international events. This latest accolade adds to its growing list of achievements, having won the same award in 2020. Rakharebe attributed the centre’s success to the dedication of the ICC team, emphasizing their commitment to world-class customer service.
