The JSF is endorsed by the City and is hosted under the auspices of the Johannesburg Tourism Company (JTC), the department of economic development, public liaison, the 2010 office and the department of arts and culture. The Gauteng Tourism Authority and the Gauteng Economic Development Agency have thrown their weight behind it.

“[An] inclusive JSF will allow us to build on our desire to make the JSF an annual event that benefits all of Gauteng and showcases all of our many shopping nodes,” says Nonnie Kubeka, the head of marketing at the provincial tourism agency.

Johannesburg has more than 80 shopping centres, serving a resident population of about 3,5 million. There is also a strong cross-border market and during the festival more than 500 000 punters are expected to shop here.
