THERE will be no rest for entertainment, fashionistas, and horse lovers in KZN as they have back-to-back events in July.
Dundee July handicap was launched on Tuesday, 27 June, and will be at Endumeni horse racecourse in Dundee, northern KZN on 15 July.
This year Dundee July is themed African Royalty and is expected to be attended by many top celebrities and fashionistas.
The rural handicap was started in 2005 by locals and grew to attract people outside KZN.
The spectacular event is organised in collaboration with the KZN Department of Sport, Art and Culture and Umzinyathi District Municipality.
Uzalo actor Tha Simelane, who was part of the launch, said people should expect more from him.
“People know me for my unique fashion, and this year will be the same. But I will add many flavours to my fashion under the event theme.
“I have never disappointed people when it comes to fashion and will not disappoint them this time," he said.
