The CEO of the Rand Show, Craig Newman said, “This used to be the biggest event on the South African calendar, at one point it lasted for 27 days and the whole country came to a standstill. But, what the Rand Show has always been about is creating great memories.”
Caxton Local Media has partnered with the show this year and Jaco Koekemoer, the managing director of Caxton Local Media said the Rand Show not only offers visitors an entertaining family experience but plays an important role in people’s businesses as it offers a place to earn a living and create jobs.
