From 7–9 August, the heart of Pretoria buzzed with energy as thousands gathered for KragDag 2025, South Africa’s leading expo celebrating sustainable living, innovation, and self-reliance. With its signature blend of technology, entrepreneurship, and community spirit, this year’s event proved once again why KragDag is more than just an exhibition it’s a movement.
For Astore Keymak, KragDag wasn’t just another expo it was a chance to connect with communities seeking practical, long-lasting solutions for water management, agriculture, and off-grid living. Our exhibit featured leak-proof irrigation systems, durable PVC piping, and flexible hose technologies designed to withstand South Africa’s harsh climate.
The team also took time to explore other exhibits, network with industry peers, and attend thought-provoking talks on sustainability and innovation.
Astore Keymak spent months preparing for KragDag, carefully planning their layout and product displays. “The first day it was raining, and things could’ve easily gone sideways,” said Juan Harmse. “But instead of panicking, the team pulled together, everyone jumped in to protect the setup and keep things moving.”
Gordon Klopper added, “That moment showed our grit. No one hesitated. We worked fast, stayed positive, and made sure the booth looked great despite the weather.
When reflecting on KragDag Gordon Klopper was fuelled with excitement and pride at “the fact that our MD Shenton Botes brought through all the ladies to come out of the office a bit and see what a show day is all about.” As the expo wrapped up on the 9th, Astore Keymak left KragDag with more than just leads they left with renewed purpose.
KragDag reminded us that our work matters, We’re not just selling products we’re helping build a more resilient South Africa. Astore Keymak is already looking forward to KragDag 2026, where they plan to return with even more solutions and stories to share.
