Nando’s returns for the third year in succession to headline sponsor The Gathering, Daily Maverick’s flagship event that brings together a unique mix of media, politics, civil society and satire. 2017 will see the 6th edition of The Gathering hosted in Johannesburg, and produced once again by Whacked Entertainment, headed by John Vlismas.

“The Gathering truly is a unique event that has grown in recognition and scale since we first staged it in 2010. We’ve attracted the most revered speakers in South African politics, offering the closest thing to multi-party debates and insights into the burning issues facing South Africa.”

The Gathering is set to take place in August 2017 in Johannesburg.
