This year’s Vodacom Durban July (VDJ) promises eye-catching fashion and a music extravaganza to create an unforgettable experience. The event will be held on 3 July at the Greyville Racecourse. The event will encompass horseraces and fashion shows which will all be broadcast on Super Sport 4, DSTV channel 204 and on the City’s digital platforms.

 

The main event will be supported with pre and post event activities taking place on 2 and 4 July.

 

EThekwini Mayor Councillor Mxolisi Kaunda launched the VDJ Grand Experience programme where he highlighted precaution to be taken to ensure a safe experience in adherence to Covid-19 protocols.

 

“Rebuilding tourism and hosting events during this period requires innovation. If visitors cannot experience our tourism products physically, they should be able to participate virtually. This is the commitment we made when we launched the Economic Recovery Plan, to revive sectors adversely affected by Covid-19,” said Mayor Kaunda.

 

He said the City is ready to host visitors for the VDJ Grand Experience.

 

“We are working hard to ensure there is tourism activity which is critical for the local economy while emphasising strict adherence to health regulations. We have also identified sport as vital to positioning Durban as a preferred venue for international events.”
