By hosting the annual Diamond Festival, the Oranjemund Town Council has created a conducive environment for more private and public investment.
The Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Emma Theofelus on Friday officially opened the five-day Oranjemund Diamond Festival.
The festival is being held under the theme: “Creating a Sustainable Future through Economic Diversification”.
The Oranjemund Diamond Festival is an initiative by the Oranjemund Town Council that aims to continue marketing the town and seek investment opportunities while creating a platform for local businesses, corporates and tourism establishments to showcase their products and services directly to the residents and visitors to the town.
The festival kicked off with the first event of the Diamond Festival “My Oranjemund Photography Exhibition” which took place on Tuesday, 01st August 2023 at Berronies.
This event was proudly sponsored by OMDIS the Town Transformation Agency with the aim to give Oranjemunders an opportunity to share their photos of their favourite visiting spots in town, as it is a celebration of Oranjemund’s heritage and everything we have achieved since opening to the world.
The Oranjemund Town Council and the ODF local organizing committee is looking forward to more exciting collaborations for the hosting of the 8th edition of ODF 2024.
