In partnership with the Gauteng Provincial Government and the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc), Arnold Classic Africa affords athletes the opportunity to compete in an international competition, against participants from all continents, in Africa. Like its global counterparts, the African rendition embraces numerous sporting codes and promotes these through demonstrations, contests, and record attempts and sports celebrities over three days each May.
