About us
We're Howzit Live
A 360° corporate events, festivals and experiential production company. Based in Gauteng, serving Johannesburg, Pretoria and surrounds across Gauteng.
Our story
Howzit Live was founded on a simple insight: South African companies deserve event production that's as world-class as the brands they build.
Too often, corporate events are an afterthought — a DJ in the corner, a cash bar, and a hope that people will have fun. We believe every event is a brand moment, and every brand moment deserves production excellence.
From interactive games and photo activations to gourmet food trucks, premium bars, professional staging and comprehensive infrastructure — we handle every element under one roof. One team, one vision, one invoice.
Whether it's a 50-person boardroom activation or a 5 000-person outdoor festival, we bring the same energy, precision and professionalism to every project.
Meet the founder
Bibi Burness
Founder & Managing Director, B&W Productions
Bibi has spent 33 years in events — on site, behind the decks and running production for brands across Gauteng. Howzit Live is his answer to a simple problem: booking a great event shouldn't mean chasing twenty suppliers.
When you book through Howzit Live, your brief lands with B&W's production team — people who have built, rigged and run events themselves — not an algorithm.
