The Cradle Of Community Kindness

Magaliesburg Business Forum (MBF) holds an annual Magalies Rocks the Cradle Festival at the end of August .

The Magalies Development Initiative (MD) established 2013, is involved in this festival to promote Magaliesburg tourism and business. In 2018 the MDI local Project Manager is co-ordinating a joint Church & Community Bazaar at the Hartleys Estate on the R24, where all recognised churches and congregations, as well as other charitable instances in the community will have the opportunity to get involved in fund-raising activities in a sociable setting. By bringing these diverse players together, we intend to Rock the Cradle of Human Kindness in Magaliesburg.

We hope to have stalls that, among other items, provide festival-goers with:

Fresh Farm Produce

Fresh Meat (Beef; Pork; Chicken; Game; Crocodile; etc)

Dairy Products (Milk; Eggs; Yogurts; etc)

Fruits & Vegetables (according to the season)
