Joey-Lee Erasmus was declared the ultimate winner of the Roland Speed Wrap Challenge 2019 FESPA Africa 2019 and Sign Africa.

As part of his win Erasmus has won a trip to compete at the World Wrap Masters Final 2020 at the Global Print Expo 2020 in Madrid in March. Following close behind in second place was Gareth James from Wrap Formula and in third place Vaughn Repsold from Lidicious Helmet Wraps.
