Organisers of the GAS Motor Show 2K25 have issued a public statement following a troubling incident that occurred during the weekend event, assuring the public that a thorough investigation is underway.
In an official announcement, the organisers expressed their deep concern and sadness over the incident, which remains under internal investigation. While specific details of the incident have not been disclosed, the statement emphasized a commitment to transparency and accountability, noting that those responsible will be held to account.
The annual motor show, now in its third consecutive sold-out year, had been escalated to a medium-risk event, resulting in a significant presence of Metro Police and SAPS officers throughout the venue—a move intended to enhance public safety.
“We are conducting this investigation with the thoroughness and seriousness it deserves,” the organisers stated, adding that the full details will be made public once the findings are complete. They also affirmed a zero-tolerance policy on violence, with particular emphasis on gender-based violence.
Organisers reiterated their primary concern is the safety and wellbeing of patrons and guests. “We believe in complete transparency because we have nothing to hide, and our primary concern is ensuring our patrons and guests have a safe, enjoyable experience.”
The statement concluded with a note of appreciation for the public’s patience as the team continues to work diligently to resolve the matter.
