After last year's success, the 2011 event promises to be a visual delight featuring African fashion, a luxury lane, entertainment for the kids, as well as the groom's race.
Known as the "Sport of Kings", polo is a fast-paced, adrenalin-charged equestrian sport that will be showcased at the Inanda Africa Cup.
This year's Inanda Club Africa Cup is gearing up to be a fantastic affair that showcases the prowess and skills of some of the best horsemen on the continent.
While the polo players show their skills on horseback, the social elite will undoubtedly display the latest trends in fashion.
Another key feature of this year's event will be the VIP Fundraising Gala Dinner, to be hosted on Saturday, with the aim of raising much-needed funds for the Inanda Club's chosen beneficiaries, namely: Alexandra Aids Orphans and the Highveld Horse Care Unit.
"The Inanda Club is firmly behind the development of polo and its growth throughout Africa," says Inanda Club general manager, Paul Oosthuizen.
"In addition to our Youth and Novice Polo School, the Inanda Africa Cup is one of the highlights on the Inanda Club's calendar. "What was once an elitist's game is definitely changing.
"Today, the sport is accessible to all. We can already boast a number of very talented developmental players including Sbu Duma, Meshake Tshidiso and Tisetso Makenethe, to name a few, who are becoming local heroes in the polo world.
"The success of these individuals is significantly shifting the outlook of polo and bodes well for the continued growth of this exciting sport into the future." Tickets to the Inanda Africa Cup Polo are R100 per car and can be purchased at the gate on the day.
