Africa Halal Week returns to Cape Town

26 Aug 2019

The more than 50 exhibitors confirmed so far cover a range of sectors, including Islamic banking, modest fashion, film and media promotion, cuisine and investment and trade.

Provincial minister for finance and economic opportunities, David Maynier explained the importance of this conference: "The event presents opportunities for delegates and exhibitors to engage and network in an effort to learn about the global halal economy, while simultaneously creating long-term business relationships. What is exciting about this year’s trade fair is the new diary system which has been introduced to the event. It tracks all exhibitors and matches them to relevant buyers, facilitating strategic meetings and discussions."

"We are very proud of the progress the Africa Halal Week team has made thus far. The halal sector brings great opportunity for our province, and more specifically, in the creation of much-needed jobs for our people."
