Message from the Executive Mayor

On behalf of the Overberg District Municipality, it is my absolute honour and privilege to welcome all exhibitors, visitors, and industry pioneers to NAMPO Cape 2026 at the iconic Bredasdorp Park.

From 9 to 12 September 2026, our region proudly becomes the vibrant heart of agricultural innovation and excellence in the Western Cape.

This year, we gather under a powerful and timely theme: “Together We Grow”. This sentiment reflects the core of our communities.

Agriculture does not thrive in isolation. The resilience, competitiveness, and sustainability of this vital sector rely entirely on the deep-rooted partnerships between our producers, agribusinesses, researchers, government, and the resilient communities that support them. By uniting our strengths, we ensure food security and drive economic growth for our entire nation.

To our visitors traveling from near and far, thank you for bringing your energy and passion to the Overberg. While you are here, I invite you to immerse yourself in our warm hospitality, explore our beautiful region, and support our fantastic local businesses.

Thank you to the organisers, Bredasdorp Park NPC, and everyone working behind the scenes to make this premier event a reality. Let us connect, collaborate, and ensure that together, we grow.

Warmest regards,

Ald Andries ‘Sakkie’ Franken
Executive Mayor, Overberg District Municipality
