Come and braai with the celebs at the Rand Show, in the Jimmy’s Steakhouse Sauces Celeb Braai Competition.

The Rand Show is all about giving you great ways to spend time with your family. And what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than around the braai? Sizzling wors, cold beer, good friends ... made even better with a splash of Jimmy’s Steakhouse Sauces and the company of some of your favourite TV personalities.

The Webers will be standing ready at the Esplanade stage on both Saturdays of the Rand Show, for a celebrity braai-off that will make your mouth water.

Singer and GROOTfm 90.5 presenter Riaan Grobler takes the mike as master of ceremonies, making sure nobody hogs the braai spice. He’ll also pick four lucky members of the audience to come up and braai with the celebs.

Over the Easter weekend, on Saturday 15 April from 2pm to 4pm, four kykNET stars will wield the braai tongs. Jocelyn Broderick and David Louw , “Nina” and “Simon” from Getroud Met Rugby will be there, along with Germandt Geldenhuys and Je-Ani Swiegelaar, better known to Binnelanders fans as “Louis” and “Sister Naomi”.

On the closing weekend, Saturday 22 April, from 2pm to 4pm, the tongs pass to actresses Phindile Zwane and Tinah Mnumzana, “Dimpho” and “Dikeledi” from e.tv’s Gold Diggers, while the boys are represented by actors from SABC 2’s 7de Laan: Markus Haywood who plays “Willem Spies”, and Andre Lotter, who plays “Rickus”.

It’s going to be a jol, like everything else at this year’s Rand Show. That’s because the Rand Show is not just another expo. As South Africa’s biggest consumer expo, it’s the only show to offer attractions to delight both young and old, covering everything from sport, motoring, military, and science and technology, to design, animals, gardening, health and beauty, and variety shows... there’s an entire day out for the whole family packed into each Rand Show ticket.
