Flamingo Casino Partners With Local NGO to Promote Kimberley’s Creative Talent Through Vibrant Mural

Highly visible to passing motorists on the N12, Flamingo’s smart new mural—covering an area of 19m²—was crafted by Trailblaze Travels, a dedicated non-profit organisation who are committed to developing and sustaining the tourism, culture, and art sectors of the Northern Cape and South Africa, starting in Kimberley.

“We had been looking for someone for a while now and saw some of Trailblaze Travels’ work in town,” said Johann De Lange, Gaming Manager, Flamingo Casino. “We made contact, and their designs were extraordinary.”

Trailblaze Travels was in the news earlier this year for its first project, called the Kimberley Mural Series.

“Through arts, media, and business support, we aim to uplift and empower our communities. Our platform serves as a hub for young talents to showcase their work, connect with industry professionals, and access vital resources,” said Joshua Rolse of Trailblaze Travels.

“Whether it's through art exhibitions, business workshops, or collaborative projects, we believe in the power of creativity and entrepreneurship to spark change and build sustainable futures.”

This ethos aligns with that of Flamingo. “We are pleased to support this NGO and support its goals,” said De Lange.

Both parties hope this is the beginning of a beautiful connection. “Trailblaze aims to forge a long-lasting partnership with Flamingo Casino and to paint many more murals for them,” said Rolse. “We have many ideas for the entire establishment and hope to walk a long way with them. Proposals for more work will be shared in due time.”

In addition to the mural, Flamingo Casino has completed additional projects this year – new chandelier lamp covers, new table layouts, and replaced the pylon sign neon with LED – all with the view to keep the property looking snazzy, added De Lange.
