• Start planning for next year’s ‘Best of Vaal’ project!

The Vaal Triangle business fraternity plays a decisive role in creating and keeping the area’s economic wheels turning.
Through “Best of Vaal – Readers’ Choice” MooiVaal Media would like to recognize local businesses that have built up a good name in the Vaal with their dedication, hard work and excellent service delivery – whether they are coffee shops, vehicle companies, jewellers, real estate agencies, private health services or any other type of private enterprise.

MooiVaal plans to establish BEST OF VAAL as an annual project, so readers are invited to start identifying service providers that stand out from the crowd. As soon as the project reopens in 2025, we will request readers to again nominate and eventually vote for their favourites.
