Johannesburg - Media personality and businesswoman Minnie Dlamini will host the second official Standard Bank Joburg Polo in the Park taking place at Gauteng’s premium residential lifestyle estate Steyn City at the weekend.
This year’s theme is “Splendour” and aims to showcase all things bright, colourful and grand. Being an all-round powerhouse, Dlamini is the perfect choice for the polo event.
Set to be attended by the country’s elite – including top business people, celebrities and media – the backdrop of Steyn City will offer a scenic day filled with beautiful people, unforgettable experiences, great food, over-the-top fashion, as well as art and live music on the sidelines.
“The Standard Bank Polo in the Park is not only about polo, but also about the lifestyle and fashion that accompanies the sport of kings. Having hosted a hugely successful 2019 edition of this prestigious polo affair, we remain passionate about the African continent and plan to continue showcasing what our country has to offer to the rest of the world,” said the Africa Deluxe Company’s (ADC) frontman and executive producer of the event, Ben Moseme.
He added: “We are particularly excited to have Minnie Dlamini join the Joburg Polo in the Park family as she is the perfect fit for this exclusive polo celebration and a true reflection of South African excellence in media.”
The event promises to dazzle guests with fabulous fashion, good music, gourmet meals and beverages.
Polo in the Park will bring a special thrill to a time-honoured sport, thanks to its unique format: because there are only three players a side with an inflatable ball, rather than the hard one used in traditional matches, spectators can get close up to the action and enjoy all the thrills of the matches.
“We have created an event that speaks to the high expectations of players and spectators alike. We are especially excited to bring polo fans back together again after the uncontrolled two-year hiatus,” said Sandile Dlamini, founding member of ADC.
“Polo is the sport of kings. Any event celebrating this sport must reflect this. To ensure the Polo in the Park upholds its regal upstanding image, we have benchmarked this event against internationally respected polo tournaments. The result is a spectacular occasion marked by glamour and luxury offering dynamic networking opportunities, classy live entertainment and, of course, the excitement of this fast-paced format. All these elements come together to create an unforgettable experience for all who attend.”
Tickets to the event are available with three premium VIP hospitality marquees to choose from.
The Polo in the Park will take place on Saturday, April 30.
