Due to budgetary constraints and relative internal political stability, Botswana had relied on a small paramilitary force called the Police Mobile Unit (PMU) since the early 1960s for all defence – related issues. By the late 1970s, the sharp escalation of the struggle for Zimbabwe resulted in cross – border incursions by Rhodesian security forces who were pursuing armed freedom fighters.

  • Robe Bmfls Dominate 2015 Metro FM Awards Show
    Live Events « go back Robe BMFLs dominate 2015 Metro FM Awards show Wed, 18 Mar 2015 12:04 The 2015 Metro FM Awards show Durban once again came alive with the buzz and the excitement of the 2015 Metro FM Awards, with Robe BMFL Spots taking centre stage – as part of a rig of nearly 150 Robe moving lights - for a stunning stage presentation at the Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre. Staged for the third consecutive year and attended by 4 000 enthusiastic guests and VIPs, the massive evening organised by one of the country’s leading radio stations was broadcast live on SABC1 and saw the presentation of 20 coveted awards and nine special live performance collaborations. Co-ordinating all the technical elements was Dream Sets and project manager Robert Hoey, who was also working on the event for the third year for event producers, Blue Moon. Lighting designer Francois van der Merwe from the Wizardry Group was again asked to add some Metro lighting magic, a task on which he lost no time in specifying the BMFLs as the core of his rig. The 24 BMFL Spots were supplied to Dream Sets by MJ Event Gear, the first rental company in SA to invest in these hugely powerful new multi-purpose fixtures from Robe. This was their first high profile show since MJ took delivery a few weeks beforehand. Lighting equipment for the Metro FM Awards was a combination of kit from Johannesburg-based Dream Sets and MJ, with additional support from locally based Black Coffee. Van der Merwe was delighted to be the first LD in the country to use the BMFL Spots on a high profile live TV show.
