The women’s programme at Nampo Cape 2026 is expanding to offer a dedicated space centred on inspiration, lifestyle, faith, music, and community spirit.
Hosted in the Distinctive Choice tent at Bredasdorp Park from Wednesday, 9 September to Friday, 11 September 2026, the Santam Agriculture Women’s Programme carries the theme, “Where farmers, food and community grow together”.
While curated primarily around topics appealing to women across the rural and agricultural sector, organisers have noted that men are equally welcome to join all scheduled sessions.
Expanded space for high-demand sessions
To accommodate growing visitor interest, this year’s setup features a larger marquee on the lawn near the BKB building, alongside an external large screen for additional viewing.

Organisers emphasise that the gathering aims to provide a welcoming retreat where attendees can connect over shared experiences.
Program organiser Burre Burger highlighted that the expo serves as more than a commercial showcase.
“Nampo Cape is about more than exhibitions and innovation; it is also a gathering place for the people who drive agriculture, food culture and community life forward. This programme brings those stories to the stage in an uplifting and accessible way,” Burger said.
Three-day lineup with talks and entertainment
Master of ceremonies Beneschke Janse van Rensburg will guide the daily agenda, supported by main sponsor Santam Landbou alongside partners CFAO Toyota, Bredasdorp Park, Afgri, Grain SA, Efficient Group, Lift, Distinctive Choice, and B-Promotions.
