QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hook is not really interesting. References #3 and #19 both claim that it is "the oldest agricultural society in South Africa and Africa". The oldest on the entire continent! IMO, that is a far more interesting fact. Otherwise, well written article! P 1 9 9 ✉ 20:37, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@P199: thanks for the review and hook suggestions. How about ALT1: ...that Agri-Expo is the oldest agricultural society in Africa? Nathan121212 (talk) 13:49, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
