Ever mindful of ensuring the safety of audiences as
paramount, the KZN Philharmonic and Citi-Eyes Security have a vigilant and
active plan in place to protect and chaperone audience members to and from the
Durban City Hall every Thursday evening during concert season.
For the past ten years the audiences of the KZN Philharmonic
Orchestra have been under the watchful eyes of Dion Botha’s proactive security
company Citi-Eyes. He has 30 guards wearing easily-identifiable yellow neon
bibs, strategically placed along all pedestrian routes around the City Hall
before during and after every Thursday concert.
Botha explains, “Safety and security is our mandate and
protecting the orchestra’s audiences coming in and out of the City Hall is our
number one priority,” Botha’s intention is that no music lover should ever use
the excuse that it’s too dangerous to come to the city and enjoy the orchestra
perform because his team are always there to keep a watchful eye.
Botha is an ex-police officer with international experience
who has been part of specialist project teams involved in
anti-child-trafficking and anti-piracy.
The KZN Philharmonic is half way through its six week Winter
Season – performing every Thursday in the Durban City Hall.
The KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra continues its
primary mission of bringing excellence in music making to the city of Durban.
The Winter Season features top South African and international musicians in an
eclectic and carefully created programme of amazing music. “We are committed to
bringing the highest quality concerts to Durban thereby enriching the city and
province through music,” says Bongani Tembe: CEO and Artistic Director of the
KZN Philharmonic.
