Johannesburg; 04 August 2025 – rAge (the really Awesome gaming expo), South Africa's legendary technology, gaming and geek exhibition, is moving to a brand-new venue for its upcoming event on 5–7 December 2025. In a bold twist, rAge will be one of the first events to be hosted at Fourways Mall's brand-new rooftop event space, a unique venue boasting over 50,000 square meters of covered space, and access to a world-class shopping and entertainment environment.
This exciting move marks another innovative milestone for rAge, the first gaming and geek expo brought to South Africa by South Africans, an event that has since grown into one of the continent's biggest events. The new Fourways Mall location offers easy access from across Johannesburg, promising visitors an even more convenient and elevated experience this year.
Fourways Mall is undergoing a dynamic transformation under new management, evolving into a multi-faceted entertainment destination. By the time rAge rolls around in December, the mall will be buzzing with exciting new additions and enhanced experiences that elevate the overall shopper journey, the perfect backdrop for South Africa’s premier Play. Geek. Conquer. event.
From ample covered parking and seamless access to the rooftop venue, to an expanded offering of lifestyle and dining experiences, Fourways Mall is set to supercharge the rAge experience. The excitement is palpable as the rAge team and Fourways Mall prepare to make history with this rooftop adventure.
"We're beyond excited to take rAge to new heights, literally!" says Michael James, Project Director of rAge Expo. "rAge has always been about breaking the mould and doing things differently. Being among the first to use this incredible rooftop space is a perfect example of that. We couldn't ask for a cooler venue, it's easy to get to, and brings a fresh vibe that our community is going to love. It's like we're levelling up the entire experience. We can't wait to bring our visitors an unforgettable weekend this December."
"We’re thrilled to welcome rAge Expo to Fourways Mall and to host one of South Africa’s most iconic events at our brand-new rooftop venue. This collaboration marks an exciting chapter for the mall as we continue to evolve into a destination that blends premium retail, lifestyle, and entertainment experiences. With over 50,000m² of covered rooftop space, ample secure parking, and direct access to more than 300 stores, restaurants, and family attractions, we’re proud to offer a world-class platform for an event of this scale. We look forward to delivering an unforgettable experience for the rAge community – right here at Fourways Mall."
