Johannesburg, 28th November: More than 800 booths were featured at the third annual China Sourcing Fair in Johannesburg. The event opened last week running from 28th to 30th November at the Gallagher Convention Centre, in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The co-located fairs include a wide variety of categories such as consumer electronics, solar & energy-saving products, fashion accessories, garments & textiles, baby & children’s products, gifts & premiums, home products, and hardware & building materials.

Tommy Wong, President of Global Sources Exhibitions, said, “Africa’s trade with China continues to expand… Our Fairs in Johannesburg are an ideal platform for business people in South Africa and throughout continental Africa to meet directly with manufacturers and find the right products for their home markets.”
