Voting kicked off on August 1 and concluded on August 21, and garnered an overwhelming response from the community, with thousands of votes being cast to recognise the crème de la crème of the city’s establishments.

A cherished tradition, Best of Pretoria empowers the community to celebrate and acknowledge those businesses, individuals, and organisations that make Pretoria a vibrant and thriving city.

This year’s awards encompassed a diverse array of categories, from Best Place to Take Out-of-Towners, to the Best Schools and Best Restaurants.

In addition to recognising the exceptional establishments that contribute to Pretoria’s unique character, the awards also presented an opportunity for five fortunate voters to win their share of over R80 000 in prizes.
