Looks like South Africa’s once-lacking expo-sector is now getting a lot more busy, thanks to the recent announcement of Cape Town’s upcoming gaming convention, GameX<\/a>, as well as a brand new show – CETX, the Consumer Electronic & Technology Expo.<\/p>\n

CETX is still in its planning phase, is set to bring a full-scale consumer show to South African audiences, with plans for the event to be held in Johannesburg and Cape Town.<\/p>\n

The show is to include everything from mobile phones and AV supplies, to tech appliances and gaming.<\/p>\n

No dates have been slapped on the expo, although event organisers are looking at around Autumn of 2013 to host the show.<\/p>\n

“The South African market is hungry for convenience, choice and customisation – there is a gap for international brands, especially specialist brands, to play a decisive role in the market”, said Ryan Matthews, one of the organisers behind the expo.<\/p>\n
