Hall 5 to offer free support, screenings, and access to essential public services
The Rand Show 2025 is proud to announce the return of one of its most impactful and empowering offerings — the Public Sector Hall, which will once again take centre stage in Hall 5 of the Johannesburg Expo Centre from 17 to 21 April 2025.
This dedicated space will host a wide range of government departments, public sector institutions, and oversight bodies, offering direct access to essential services, expert advice, and community support – all at no cost to visitors.
Whether you’re seeking assistance with pensions, voter registration, water services, health screenings, or access to social support systems, the Public Sector Hall is designed to help you connect face-to-face with the people and departments that serve South Africa every day.
Government and Public Sector Departments Participating in 2025:

Empowering Visitors with Real Support
One of the standout features of this year’s hall is the collaboration between the Gauteng Department of Health and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), which will be offering free health screenings to all Rand Show visitors. This public-private partnership underscores the show’s commitment to wellbeing, access, and social upliftment — ensuring that a visit to the Rand Show can be more than just fun; it can be life-changing.
“This is a deeply important part of the Rand Show,” says Adele Hartdegen, CEO of The Rand Show. “It’s where government becomes truly accessible. Our visitors can speak directly to public service providers, and many walk away with real resolutions, answers, and opportunities.”
From resolving disputes with financial institutions to understanding your rights, accessing health and water services, and registering to vote — the Public Sector Hall is here to serve.
