Event Management

Thebe toasts another successful Decorex Joburg Thebe Exhibitions Eyes International Tie Up and Africa Expansion for Decorex SA. Johannesburg - Unfazed by a surprise snowfall and freezing temperatures, Gautengers turned out in their droves to visit Decorex Joburg at Gallagher Convention Centre over the past long weekend.

Carol Weaving, managing director of Thebe Exhibitions and Projects Group which owns Decorex SA, congratulated the organising team, saying that Africa's largest décor, design and lifestyle show was a jewel in the crown of Thebe's exhibition portfolio.

"Thebe is 95% female - a fact that really works in the exhibition industry because women are extremely detail orientated," Weaving said.

Weaving, a former chairperson of the Exhibition Association of South Africa, said the challenge facing all exhibitions was the existence of some disreputable organisations that threatened to give the exhibition business a bad name.

Prom dresses



Shopping is at the top of the list when it comes to woman. We love buying and cannot ever feel content with our wardrobe as there are always new clothes and newest latest trends that we would love to wear and feel better in. It is summer now and I absolutely love wearing dresses.
My sister is getting married soon and I am going to be bride’s maid, as well it is my matric dance soon after that. I am thinking of just looking at cocktail dresses to wear to my sister’s bid day and then I will have to look for prom dresses for my matric prom with some fancy ladies shoes.

Mr Price is by far the most inexpensive retail shop for clothes, especially shoes and dresses so with my allowance it will be the best shop for me.

Selling and buying second hand goods



Cash Crusaders offers quality used goods to its customers across the country. Cash Crusaders also offer their customers a variety of  new goods which are of great quality such as a plasma for sale, gps for sale and more.

Cash Crusaders customers get so much more than used goods, they get quality products which become part of your home and family like second hand camcorders that your whole family can use and have everlasting memories.

Why do we like buying used goods? Many of us get as excited to buy used goods than we do when buying new goods. Is it the “what a great find!” feeling we get or is it simply because we trust the quality of this used and older product? 

You can even get cash for gold, by selling any of your gold jewellery. As well as you can get cash for goods that are still in good condition but of no use to you anymore.

Milktart - The traditional way


There are few things as sweet as traditional South African desserts; as for South Africans, they remind of us of younger days when your gran gave you sweet treats every time you visited and for tourists it’s a taste experience like never before.
Melktert (the Afrikaans meaning for Milk Tart in English) is one of South Africa’s most cherished desserts. Melktert is often served at game reserves across the country and is a popular dish for all visitors. Melktert is easy to make at home too as the recipe is quite straightforward, but as with all things in life, practice will make your melktert perfect.

In recent years, the commercial and industrial industries have reached new heights; demands on the various specifications of the projects are constantly being redefined in order for the best quality product to be achieved. Therefore, the best equipment is required in order to facilitate the envisioned final product.

The forklift is a critical handling solution that allows all types of material to be moved quickly and efficiently and in so doing, increases productivity and dramatically cuts operation costs. However, there are a wide range of forklifts available and one needs to be well-informed in order to make the choice of which one will suit their needs.

There are two types of fuel that power these machines: diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); there is also a more eco-friendly option that is electrically powered. Diesel models use a conventional internal combustion engine to drive the forklift and hydraulics; however the downside is that you have normal diesel emissions which are not ideal in a closed environment. Therefore, they are more suited to outdoor construction projects.

LPG models use gas (from gas cylinders) and the emissions are a lot lower. They also have the benefit of switching to petrol should the need arise so they are ideal for dual indoor and outdoor applications however the running costs are a lot higher.

Electric models which run off batteries, there are zero emissions and the running costs are the lowest of the three. However, the initial cost of the machine is higher and another downside is that they can only operate for one shift and then you need to put the battery on charge. One way of getting around this is to buy multiple batteries, however this requires an additional capital outlay. Once your decision has been made of which model meets your requirements, you need to establish whether purchase or rental is your best option.

If you are involved in an outdoor construction project, then the diesel forklift is your best option, as it has a far better fuel efficiency compared to the other forklifts. The rental option is also much more affordable over an extended period of time and the costs of maintenance and repairs that you will need to pay if you purchase a diesel forklift. If you rent, you will not be responsible for these added costs. An added advantage to diesel forklift for hire is that the rates you are charged are calculated according to the amount of hours that you use the equipment and not according to the amount of days that the forklift is in your possession so you won’t be paying for time when the forklift is not in operation.

According to Dieter Glockle of Manhand, “the most popular model is diesel, followed by the electric and LPG forklifts. Therefore, it is easy to deduce that the diesel version of the forklift, whether purchased or rented, is the preferred model for consumers.
