We are especially excited to bring polo fans back together again after the uncontrolled two-year hiatus,” says Sandile Dlamini, founding member of ADC. “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 set to create an unforgettable experience for all who attend. “

From Johannesburg – the business capital of the province – to the rest of South Africa and eventually the African continent, this event is set to become an intercontinental fixture on the sporting/social calendar.
