So, in our 175th anniversary year, weโre thrilled to welcome KhakiBush Magazine to the Royal Show.
The RAS has been around since ๐ญ๐ด๐ฑ๐ญ, making its way through wars, rinderpest, economic hardship and huge changes โ occasions when common sense told us to give up and stay home.
We didnโt. We kept going.
Which is probably why a brand like ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฏ๐๐๐ต, built around ๐๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ, ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ, ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐๐ฑ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฟ๐, ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐น๐, feels at home with us.

For 2026, weโve created the ๐๐๐น๐น ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ป, a new area built around ๐ฐ๐

At the heart of ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฏ๐๐๐ต ๐๐๐น๐น ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ป is our new ๐ฐ๐

๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, where visitors can climb aboard and tackle the purpose-built track with experienced drivers.
Halfway Toyota Howick, Key Pietermaritzburg Stellantis and Metro Car Sales will be out in force, and visitors can admire beautifully customised Land Rover Defenders by Bhejane Customs too.

Surviving 175 years is hungry work. On ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐, the fires will be lit for two days of outdoor cooking, competition, smoke, flavour and good company.

Khakibush will be part of our special opening night on ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐ณ ๐ข๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ. Weโre not giving everything away yet, but think ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ, ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐, ๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ป๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฏ๐๐๐ต ๐ณ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ.
For 175 years, the RAS has adapted, endured and carried on. 'n Boer really does maak 'n plan.

Things are about to get a little wilder at Tweedie.
