The eThekwini Municipality says security has been tightened ahead of the Hollywoodbets Durban July on Saturday.

This year’s theme ‘Show Me The Honey’ is expected to showcase SA’s fashion talent from top designers and emerging ones. Fashion designers say they welcome the opportunity to physically showcase their work during the race.

Ndoni fashion designer Kwenzi Nkomo says the premier horse-racing event gives upcoming designers a platform to show their creativity.“We’re expecting people from different provinces to be able to see our work. Some of them don’t even know about us. So for us, it’s a great platform and opportunity for us to showcase our work. Hollywoodbets also has sponsored us as upcoming designers.

In an effort to bolster the township economy and to bring the Durban July to the township and semi-rural areas in the province, event organisers have chosen satellite venues in five townships. These areas will have betting machines and host revelers as well as visitors who will also dress up in line with the DBN July theme.“We are busy with the preparations today. Since it’s Friday we will be having a pre-party and tomorrow we will be having the main event.

“There is a joint operation which includes all our law-enforcement agencies they’ve surveyed the area they are ready to execute their duties. Unfortunately, we can’t give you the number of Police that will be involved because we need to keep that with us and we want to ascertain that we have hosted major events in the city without even a single incident.”Share article

Is mopping up for the floods done, Mr Kaunda? Or you’ll come back to that later? Have you restored water & electricity supply? Are the roads into the poor areas fixed? Has life almost returned to normal there? What is the identified threat that requires tightening of security?
