The Rand Show is a consumer exhibition held at the Johannesburg Expo Centre at Nasrec.
Tickets are sold through ticketing platforms, and a refund for a cancelled event goes back through whoever sold the ticket rather than through the organiser.
Exhibitor enquiries are a separate route from visitor ones. Stand bookings, packages and floor plans go to the exhibition sales team.
This page covers how to contact the Rand Show in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Rand Show contact page rather than from any third-party directory.

Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at randshow.co.za, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- Email to [email protected], which gives you a written record of what you asked and when.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Complaining about a restaurant
- Raise it at the table, with the manager. Almost everything is resolved there, and a complaint made a week later cannot be checked against that night’s kitchen.
- Franchised outlets are independently owned. The franchisor’s customer care line is the escalation, not the first call, and it will ask which branch and which date.
- Suspected food poisoning goes to the municipal environmental health department, which inspects premises and can act on a pattern that a franchisor cannot see.
- Keep the slip. It carries the outlet number, the date, the time and the server, which is how any later investigation identifies the meal.
- A service charge is not compulsory unless it was disclosed before you ordered. An automatic gratuity on a large table is lawful where the menu says so, and questionable where it does not.
Unresolved consumer complaints go to the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud on 0860 000 272, free of charge. Premises hygiene is a municipal matter and is dealt with far faster locally.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the business’s own complaints process first, in writing and with a reference number. Unresolved consumer complaints go to the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud on 0860 000 272, free of charge, and the National Consumer Commission on 012 065 1940 handles contraventions of the Consumer Protection Act.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most consumer complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Rand Show contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not the Rand Show.
- Reach Rand Show through the official site at randshow.co.za rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- The Rand Show will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Rand Show contact number?
The routes are listed in the table above, with what each one is for. The main route is 011 494 2894. Confirm it on randshow.co.za before relying on it, since numbers are changed from time to time.
How do I know a Rand Show number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at randshow.co.za. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not the Rand Show, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
