Themed Ke Nako! or 'It's Time', South Africa's pavilion at the Shanghai Expo has opened its doors to visitors wanting to learn more about what modern-day South Africa has to offer. The expo runs from 1 May till 31 October.

The Shanghai Expo's theme of 'Better City, Better Life' is embodied in South Africa's stunning pavilion with a design inspired by a traditional southern African rondavel round house, interpreted in a modern way fusing traditional designs with modern materials. The pavilion invites visitors on a journey which is truly South African with experiences ranging from traditional artefacts, to world-class wines and modern urban living solutions.

As the fourth expo which South Africa has participated in, it is also the largest expo ever held. With nearly 300 pavilions covering an area of 5.28 square kilometres, Shanghai Expo is expected to attract over 100 million visitors.
