Thirty-two dealerships participated and Standard Bank expected 22,000 visitors to the 2015 Standard Bank Auto Show and “Biltongfees”. “The organisers are busy reconciling and finalising the latest statistics of the show. We will soon make a further announcement of the final statistics,” confirmed Gaomas-Guchu.
Visitors to the show enjoyed entertainment by leading Namibian and South African artists; the display of the latest vehicles; a display of “Old Wheelers” and trucks; and entertainment for the children.
