BACKGROUND
Afrirock 2025 is an international Rock Mechanics Conference set to take place at Sun City, South Africa. As mining has long been a cornerstone of African economies, Rock Engineering design plays a crucial role in advancing mining operations across the continent. The conference will spotlight cutting-edge technologies such as modern geotechnical data collection techniques, 3D visualization software for geotechnical analysis, computer modelling, mechanization, and more. After the formal sessions, technical visits will be organized to provide attendees the opportunity to gain first hand practical knowledge of South African mines.

ABOUT THE VENUE
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Pilanesberg, one of South Africa’s most scenic locations, Sun City is a world unto itself and has earned its reputation as Africa’s Kingdom of Pleasure. You will find whatever you want at Sun City, from sizzling entertainment, world class casinos and restaurants to cater for all tastes, to the more relaxed poolside venue, quiet places, lush gardens, and extensive sporting facilities including two world-class golf courses. These are just some of the elements that make Sun City unique among the world’s entertainment resorts. Finally re-discovered and now part of Sun City, the Lost City and the Valley of Waves, fabled to be the Ruins of a glorious ancient civilisation, celebrate and bring to life the legends of this mystical city. The Lost City is internationally applauded for its wonderfully imaginative theme and exquisite landscaping whilst the fantastic Valley of Waves is one of the world’s most exciting waterparks
