Fashion inspiration – and some bubbly
The Sun Met campaign will feature award-winning media personality, television sensation and entrepreneur Bonang Matheba, who brings with her the House of BNG MCC as the Official Celebration Partner.
“It is my great honour to join the celebration and the thrill of The Sun Met – Africa’s richest race day.
“House of BNG and this year’s theme: ‘African Luxury: Visionaries’ are a match made in heaven!
“We are excited to celebrate gorgeous fashion, the glamour of the races and all the lucky winners of the day!” said Matheba. Not to be outdone, Miss South Africa, Zozibini Tunzi joins Queen B as the face of ‘African Luxury: Visionaries’. Lead designer for Sun Met 2020 Palesa Mokubung styled and dressed both Matheba and Tunzi in her Mantsho designs for the campaign shoot.
“My vision for the Sun Met embodies African finesse and is inspired by a generation of Africans that are both global and still embrace their culture”, said Mokubung.
Sun International chief executive Anthony Leeming commented: “We want to pay homage to the visionaries. To introduce a platform where creatives of all kinds can showcase their ideas – to write and share their stories through fashion, music, technology and horse racing. It’s where imagination comes to life in all aspects.”
All Sun Met ticket holders will once again have complimentary access to the official Sun Met after party, as well as the ever-popular fashion show and best dressed competition.
The City of Cape
Town also joins the Sun Met stable as the Official Host City: “Cape Town is the world’s leading festival and event destination and is the perfect location for the Sun Met. “We have hosted many successful large-scale events and are confident that this year’s Sun Met will also be a memorable one. “Events like these are important in attracting local and foreign visitors to our city and boosting our local economy,” said mayor Dan Plato. – Citizen reporter
