The winners, readers and reader winners celebrated in style yesterday at the annual Best of Pretoria Readers' Choice Awards 2018 function held at the Silver Lakes Golf Estate.
Pretorians and winners of this year’s prestigious Best of Pretoria Readers’ Choice Awards got together at a lavish award ceremony, held at Silver Lakes golf estate yesterday, to raise a toast to this year’s winners.
This was the sixth annual Best of Pretoria Readers’ Choice Awards event, where we got to recognise the best the city has to offer as decided by readers.
The MC for the event was none other than Martin Bester, who also won two awards himself, namely best radio show and best radio personality.

There is no denying that Pretoria is a first-rate city.
In addition to the breathtakingly beautiful scenery, it is a community with heart.
It also has a rich and diverse mix of culture and heritage, boasting charming suburban eateries, trendy hang-outs and top-notch shopping destinations.
This year, the people of Pretoria once again were not shy to give top marks to their favourites in the different categories.
After counting and auditing tens of thousands of votes, a beautiful coffee table booklet was again compiled as a guide to reflect the beauty and charm that underpins the character of the city.
Make sure to get your hands on a copy.
