The conversation comes as <strong>Proudly South African partners with the Gauteng Tourism Authority around the Proudly South African Local Wine Expo<\/strong>, connecting the buy local movement with Gauteng\u2019s visitor economy.<\/p><div id=\"gaute-974884595\" class=\"gaute-after-paragraph-1 gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expo takes place at Prison Break Market in Glenferness, Johannesburg, from Friday, 24 July to Sunday, 26 July 2026, bringing approximately 30 South African wine brands into one consumer and industry platform. The partnership places the podcast\u2019s discussion about localisation into a practical Gauteng context by linking local producers with consumers, buyers and the wider tourism economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Gauteng Lifve Podcast interview, Mashimbye explains why buying local extends beyond identifying a Proudly South African logo on a product. The discussion examines how consumer choices, corporate procurement and access to markets can influence local businesses and employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/proudly-south-african-wine-expo-2026\/\"><strong>ALSO READ: Proudly South African Local Wine Expo 2026: Where to Stay, Eat and Explore in Gauteng<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buying Local Is About Where South Africans Spend Their Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A central theme of the conversation is that localisation depends on creating sustained demand for South African goods and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mashimbye addresses the perception that Proudly South African is primarily associated with certifying products and placing its logo on qualifying goods. The organisation\u2019s broader work includes promoting local procurement, supporting market access and encouraging consumers and institutions to consider locally produced alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The economic principle behind the campaign is that spending on locally produced goods can support activity across domestic value chains. Depending on the product, those chains can include producers, manufacturers, packaging businesses, logistics companies, retailers and other service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The podcast also considers how large procurement decisions can affect local industries. When companies and institutions source qualifying goods locally, their purchasing power can create demand beyond an individual supplier and extend into supporting industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-858231041\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Localisation and Jobs Form a Key Part of the Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employment, particularly youth unemployment, is another major theme explored during the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mashimbye discusses localisation as one mechanism through which South Africa can strengthen domestic production and support employment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation also examines competition from international ecommerce platforms, including Shein and Temu, and the pressure that imported goods can place on domestic businesses competing for the same consumer spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For local producers, however, being South African is not enough on its own to guarantee consumer support or commercial success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses still need to compete on factors including quality, pricing, availability, presentation and reliability. The podcast highlights these requirements as part of the wider challenge of building local businesses that can compete both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Businesses Qualify for Proudly South African Membership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mashimbye also explains the standards associated with Proudly South African membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organisation assesses applicants against criteria that consider local content, quality, labour practices and environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means the Proudly South African identity is linked to defined requirements rather than simply the geographic location of a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For entrepreneurs hoping to reach larger markets, the discussion also highlights practical requirements that can influence whether products are ready for formal retail and procurement opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Appropriate product packaging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barcoding and product identification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consistent quality standards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reliable production and supply capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compliance with buyer and industry requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mashimbye also discusses platforms intended to improve visibility and market access for qualifying businesses, including opportunities for entrepreneurs to connect with consumers and procurement decision makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-858231041\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proudly South African and GTA Partnership Connects Local Products With Tourism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The partnership between <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/proudlysa.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proudly South African<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/\"> the Gauteng Tourism Authority <\/a>around the<a href=\"https:\/\/proudlysa.co.za\/wine-expo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Proudly South African Local Wine Expo<\/a><\/strong> extends the localisation conversation into Gauteng\u2019s visitor economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expo is being held at Prison Break Market in Glenferness from 24 to 26 July and is expected to feature approximately 30 South African wine brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to event information, the expo is intended to provide both a public wine experience and an access to market platform where participating producers can interact directly with consumers, buyers and industry professionals. Previous editions have featured around 30 brands per event, with Proudly South African reporting that 74 percent of participating brands across the previous three editions were black owned and female owned businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gauteng Tourism Authority partnership connects that market access objective with tourism by positioning local products as part of the experiences visitors can discover within the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creates a link between the buy local message discussed by Mashimbye and Gauteng\u2019s tourism economy, where events can generate activity across food, transport, hospitality, entertainment and surrounding attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gauteng Wine Businesses Form Part of the Local Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expo also provides a platform for businesses based in Gauteng to participate in an industry traditionally associated with wine producing regions elsewhere in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five Gauteng based wine businesses identified as exhibitors are <strong>Yethu Wines, Amile Wines, Lali Wines, Toasted Barrels and Ayana Wines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These businesses participate in the sector through areas including brand ownership, wine sourcing, distribution and direct consumer engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their participation shows how Gauteng\u2019s role in the wine economy extends beyond agricultural production. As South Africa\u2019s major commercial and consumer hub, the province provides a market where wine businesses can connect with consumers, hospitality establishments and potential commercial partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Gauteng Tourism Authority, the partnership around the expo also creates an opportunity to connect an event with the wider destination. Visitors travelling to Glenferness can combine the expo with restaurants, accommodation, markets and attractions in surrounding areas such as Fourways, Kyalami, Lonehill and Midrand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-858231041\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entrepreneurs Need Market Access as Well as Good Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important theme raised in the Gauteng Lifve Podcast is the challenge entrepreneurs face in moving from producing a good product to securing sustainable market access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small businesses may have products that meet consumer needs but still struggle to enter established retail, corporate procurement and hospitality supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mashimbye discusses the importance of businesses meeting commercial requirements such as barcoding, packaging standards and consistent supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These requirements can become particularly important when entrepreneurs want to move beyond direct sales and begin supplying retailers or larger institutional buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussion also highlights the role of platforms that connect supply with demand. For Gauteng entrepreneurs, access to the province\u2019s concentration of retailers, businesses, tourism establishments and consumers can create opportunities, but businesses must be prepared to meet the standards required by those markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a Buy Local Culture Beyond Retail Shelves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The podcast also explores how buying local can become part of everyday consumer behaviour rather than being limited to specific campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mashimbye discusses the role that communities, culture and entertainment can play in shaping consumer choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes using spaces outside traditional retail and procurement environments to increase awareness of locally produced goods and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growth of South African cultural exports provides a useful example of how locally created products can develop international audiences. Music movements such as Amapiano have demonstrated how South African creativity can move from local communities into global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For physical products and other services, the challenge is similarly twofold. Businesses need domestic market support while also developing the quality and capacity required to compete beyond South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Local Is The New Leadership.

An event centred on South African wine can generate activity that extends into restaurants, transport, markets and other visitor experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For entrepreneurs, Mashimbye\u2019s broader message is that local support and market access must be accompanied by quality, appropriate packaging, reliable supply and the ability to meet commercial requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is Eustace Mashimbye?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eustace Mashimbye is the CEO of Proudly South African. He joined Gauteng Lifve Podcast host Barba G for a discussion covering localisation, entrepreneurship, consumer spending, procurement and the importance of supporting qualifying locally produced goods and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the partnership between Proudly South African and the Gauteng Tourism Authority?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proudly South African has partnered with the Gauteng Tourism Authority around the Proudly South African Local Wine Expo. The collaboration connects the expo\u2019s focus on South African producers and market access with Gauteng\u2019s visitor economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When and where is the Proudly South African Local Wine Expo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expo takes place from <strong>Friday, 24 July to Sunday, 26 July 2026<\/strong> at Prison Break Market, 10 MacMillan Road, Glenferness AH, Johannesburg. Approximately 30 South African wine brands are expected to participate. Entry is free with registration, subject to capacity, and the event is restricted to adults aged 18 and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does buying local support South African businesses?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buying locally produced goods can direct consumer and procurement spending towards domestic businesses and the supply chains connected to them. The effect varies by product and sector, but local production can involve manufacturers, suppliers, logistics providers, retailers and workers across different parts of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can the Gauteng Lifve Podcast interview be watched?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation between Gauteng Lifve Podcast host Barba G and Proudly South African CEO Eustace Mashimbye is available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-858231041\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Localisation Meets Gauteng\u2019s Visitor Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gauteng Lifve Podcast interview with Eustace Mashimbye examines buying local as part of a wider economic conversation about employment, entrepreneurship, procurement and building sustainable markets for South African businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>partnership between Proudly South African and the Gauteng Tourism Authority around the Proudly South African Local Wine Expo<\/strong> puts that conversation into practice in Gauteng.
