City of Tshwane

The City of Tshwane is excited to host and sponsor the Gauteng Motor Show that will be held over the weekend of 1 and 2 June at the Zwartkops Raceway”, comments Nomasonto Ndlovu from City of Tshwane.

Renowned for its large automotive sector, this event contributes to building the city’s vision as one of the key drivers of economic growth and development in Africa.

The city has affirmed its position as an investor-friendly city with 40% of all passenger vehicles manufactured in South Africa being produced in the city. The city also hosts half of the light-vehicle manufacturers in the country such as Volvo, Nissan, BMW and Ford.

The automotive and components industry is one of Tshwane’s key priority sectors. It has a turnover of about R30 billion in current prices and generates about a quarter of the manufacturing sector’s value add, contributing about 3,3% to Tshwane’s economy.

"It is clear that the Gauteng Motor Show is a key event for the city to boost our profile as the hub of the automotive industry", continues Ndlovu.

Not only will the City of Tshwane be host to the Gauteng Motor Show, but visitors can also enjoy the very best of what this city has to offer:

• A 90 000-hectare Big 5 game reserve; where the brave can walk with the lions.
• The iconic Union Buildings which is the site of presidential inaugurations. This symbolises the status of the City as the administrative headquarters of the national government.
• The Freedom Park and the Voortrekker Monument, which was declared a heritage site, capture important moments of South African history.
• Tshwane is also home of the Nan Hua Buddhist Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere and the only one in Africa.
• Tshwane is Gauteng’s best-kept astronomical secret. The Tswaing Meteorite Crater is the only ecotourism destination of its kind in Africa.
• The people of Tshwane have a long and proud association with the visual and performing arts. The State Theatre is situated in Tshwane and stages a continuous programme of local, national and international performances including drama, opera, ballet and more.
• Tshwane also has one of the world’s largest urban nature reserves, the Rietvlei Nature Reserve. This is a unique retreat where many bird and animal species can be viewed on 3 800 hectares of open grassland.
• Tshwane boosts elegant shopping malls, restaurants and accommodation establishments.
