Mavimbela said the theme for this year’s event is “Royalty”, which represents African Royalty and symbolises presence and class.
“Through this theme we are indicating our intention to take the development of the equine industry to even much greater heights. The department will continue to work with stakeholders to further grow the equine industry, which has potential to contribute to economic growth and job creation. This year Dundee July will feature 12 races, including national and international participants.
“We expect at least 400 jockeys and horse owners to participate in the Dundee July including build-up events,” said the MEC.
