rAge 2018 is so close we can almost taste it. And by “it”, we mean we can already taste the unrelenting exhaustion – because who knew putting on Africa’s largest video game, technology and geek culture exhibition would be this much hard work? We were told it’d be all video games and sweets and beef-flavoured rainbows, and clearly someone’s lying.
We’re joking, obviously. THE EXCITEMENT IS REAL AND WHO’S GOT TIME TO BE TIRED ANYWAY ‘CAUSE IT’S RAGE SOON. \o/
If you’re curious as to exactly who, what and where will be happening at the show, we’ve got a handy list of all this year’s exhibitors below.
The show floor is bigger than ever before, and that means more stands, more activities and way more things to see and do.
