POPULAR media personalit­y Minenhle Dlamini, fondly known as Minnie, will be hosting Africa’s signature Standard Bank Joburg Polo in the Park lifestyle event on April 30 at the premium residentia­l lifestyle estate, Steyn City, Gauteng.

After a two-year hiatus the event is back, bringing thrills and magnificen­ce to those who wish to be part of the spectacula­r experience.

With this event attendees can look forward to polo and a programme of luxury lifestyle.

The inaugural Standard Bank Joburg Polo in the Park was hosted in 2019 and it had dazzling guests with fabulous fashion, good music and delectable gourmet meals and beverages.

This prestigiou­s event offers an elegant way to enjoy the sport of kings and is set to capture the imaginatio­n of equestrian lovers in grand style.

Founder of the ADC Sandile Dlamini said they are thrilled to bring back this event after a two-year drawback.

“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,.

“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,” said Dlamini.

He added that although the event was put on hold last year due to Covid-19, he expected much more support from the government to compensate the event industry for their losses during the lockdown.

“The hospitalit­y and event industry received some to zero support from the government during the lockdown; well I have nothing to show that I have survived.

“We are to thank our partners for partnering with us to host our second annual event,” said Dlamini.
