Home - FFA - Fireworks for Africa

Africa’s Most Awarded Fireworks Display Company

Started in 1996, FFA has steadily grown with the demand for quality fireworks and pyrotechnics shows in South Africa. Once we were established on our home soil, we began to receive enquiries from the rest of Africa, before branching out to a worldwide audience.

We have mastered our trade and pride ourselves on helping our clients to decide on a display strategy, while we design an event to dazzle them (whether large or small) and execute their performances efficiently and within budget.

What We Do

Fireworks

From city-wide fireworks on land or on barges, to carnivals, music festivals, cultural events and even agricultural shows – we do it all! We also put on fireworks displays for huge sporting events, corporate product activations, weddings and birthdays. FFA will provide the perfect fireworks for your next major event!

Pyrotechnics

Close proximity pyrotechnics allow for spectacular displays in “tight” locations where full scale fireworks displays aren’t allowed or wouldn’t fit. Pyrotechnics like fountains, mines and comets can be safely utilised at much closer distances, but they promise an amazing experience that your guests will talk about for years to come!

Special FX

Our special effects are an incredible way to astound your guests in a small or indoor space. FFA can create majestic effects without the exploding pyrotechnics or permits! Our special effects range from spark machines, flames, smoke and haze, to confetti, streamers, and C02.

Drones

We use the latest in drone technology to create aerial entertainment with a difference. From corporate advertising to brand reveals and animation shows – nothing is too difficult for our drone fleet!

Safety

The most important aspect of every fireworks display is safety. At FFA, safety is paramount when planning, designing and executing each and every production. Every phase of the production from concept to delivery undergoes detailed risk assessment analysis. Our safety focus is all encompassing and that makes us an industry leader.

At the forefront of innovation, we push boundaries to deliver unforgettable experiences that showcase our creativity and excellence, leaving spectators in awe.

We are always pristine and efficient and we love what we do – and we work extremely hard to ensure that you’ll love it too!

Client Reviews

That must have been the best fireworks display I have ever seen. Our principal from Toys R Us, USA was suitably impressed. Our clients and friends cheered and clapped through each display, we thought it was the finale but it went on and on!

On behalf of all the management and staff at True Colour Events, we would like to thank you for all your effort and hard work put into the success of the 2008 Glo CAF Awards held in Lagos, Nigeria.

Jeff Madibeng

I just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing spectacle you produced for us for Mr Ackerman’s 80th birthday in Cape Town earlier this year. It was really beyond what we expected so thank you for that. During his speech, Mr Ackerman said that there are a few moments in his life that he will treasure forever, and the fireworks at his birthday event will now be one of those treasured memories. So well done!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contribution. The fireworks were definitely the highlight of Innibos. David and his team were extremely professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Please convey my appreciation to them.

I wanted to thank you for the flame projectors we used for our production. It was spectacular. Everyone was thrilled! The production was a huge success. We had just under 12000 people through the doors over the 5 days. I would also like to commend Jared. He was outstanding, very helpful and professional. I’d work with him any day!

Would just like to place on record the excellent service we received from KAVIN. He was punctual, polite and incredibly professional – without a doubt the best pyrotechnics we’ve had in our 12 years of running this event.

Ritchi Smith

We would like to extend our deepest thanks and gratitude to yourselves for the excellent way in which you contributed to a highly successful event.
