Kenya v SA polo fest to match kings and queens

WHILE South Africa and Kenya battle it out on the field, spectators are in for a treat as they enjoy the finest that polo has to offer at the 110th Prince of Wales Cup.

The Allure Lifestyle marquee will once again be hosted at the prestigious event, to be held in Centurion next month.

Allure founder Bonnke Shipalana explained it’s all about introducing an entirely new crowd to the sport of polo.

This fits in with the theme “Be Bold. Be You. Be Polo”, where attendees are encouraged to arrive at the Rosefield Polo Club in their glamorous attire as they enjoy the game while socialising and indulging in delectable food.

“The theme for 2017 speaks to Africans exploring new lifestyle spaces such as polo, but remains true to what defines us as kings and queens of Africa,” said Shipalana.

He added that the event was also the perfect opportunity to make business and social connections.

While the crowds enjoy the polo atmosphere in the marquee, Shipalana explained that the polo match between South Africa and Kenya was also symbolic.

This was because polo, the “sport of kings”, is not as popular in this country as it is in the rest of the continent.

There will also be live music with Bob “The Jammer” Mabena on the decks at the Allure Lounge after-party.

Tickets are still available.
