Bigger, better Mpumalanga Show to entertain all

It kicks off in little more than two weeks and the live entertainment on offer promises to be a highlight of the year.

This year it will have a “local is lekker” theme on Thursday, a sokkie on Friday, a diverse mix on Saturday, and a gospel and jazz festival on Sunday.

The main artists who will perform include Juanita du Plessis, Kurt Darren, DJ Ossewa, Lira, Khaya Mthethwa and Rebecca Malope.

The Mpumalanga Show places a special emphasis on agriculture, forestry, wildlife, tourism, mining and with this year’s theme of “Carnival”, it promises to be a party the entire family can enjoy.

Check out the schedule here:

A variety of competitions, workshops, exhibition stalls, various breeds of animals and livestock, info sessions and product demonstrations will return. There will also be birds of prey, a snake park and a crocodile dunking tank.

There are a number of new additions to ensure that it is bigger and better and everyone is sure to be entertained.

These include miniature horses and donkeys, goat milking, the Standard Bank Cultural Village and, for the first time, Monster Truck shows. There will also be demonstrations by SAPS, SANDF and paintball.
