The fifth FNB Free State Wine Show will take place at Emoya Hotel and Spa on Thursday, 3 August and Friday, 4 August.

OFM general manager Nick Efstahiou says, "At OFM, winter is everything but a boring time of year. We are proud to be part of some great charity and social events in July and August. We hope our listeners enjoy everything that OFM continues to offer – from the best music in Central South Africa to some great projects and competitions."
