By South Africa’s biggest culinary extravaganza, the Mzansi Food & Drink Show, is set to take place at the Kyalami International Convention Centre from Saturday, 15 June to Sunday, 17 June.
The show is the brainchild of RX Africa, the company behind several of the country’s premiere events, including Decorex JHB, Comic Con Africa, Africa Travel Week and FAME Week Africa.

It promises to be a fun-filled event, catering for the whole family, and taking place over a long weekend that includes Father’s Day on June 16 and Youth Day on June 17
Says Hanli Goncalves, Portfolio Director of the Mzansi Food & Drink Show: “South Africans are ready for a food and drink show of this stature and we are determined to make it the biggest and best culinary show on the continent. It will be the stage on which local culinary personalities will strut their stuff and all the latest food and drink trends will be on offer with something for the whole family and for all tastes.”
Highlights during the three day event will include the King of the Braai competition, the Fire & Feast Meat Smoke-Off, the Butcher’s Block Competition, the Chief & Charge Corporate Cook-Off, the Barista Battle Royale, the Ring of Fire Chilli Festival, a whisky theatre, a flairtending competition, a bespoke wine tasting lounge and so much more.
