With a set designed by Dewet Meyer and a lighting design by André Rossouw of SABC and Francois van der Merwe of MJ Event Gear, a grandMA full-size was chosen to control all the lighting. This is supplied by MJ and was also programmed by van der Merwe, who is sharing operating duties with Theo Roodt due to the demanding schedule, which includes the accommodation of several regular SABC programmes as well as comprehensive match coverage.
The rig includes Robe and Martin Professional moving lights, LED fixtures, generics, scrollers and Robe Media Spinners.
The moving lights, LED sources, trussing and control - including the grandMA - are all being supplied by Johannesburg based lighting rental company MJ Event Gear, and all the white lights/generics by SABC. DWR Distribution is MA Lighting's exclusive distributor in South Africa.
