Zawadi Yamungu joins Saso’s Marquee Experience at Durban July 2026, bringing culture, music and elegance to the luxury event.
The countdown to the 2026 Hollywoodbets Durban July continues as Lusaso Ngcobo has announced celebrated singer and cultural storyteller Zawadi Yamungu as the latest addition to the highly anticipated Saso’s Marquee Experience.
Set to take place on Saturday, 4 July 2026, at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse, the award-winning marquee returns after being crowned Best Marquee at the 2025 Hollywoodbets Durban July. The experience promises another premium celebration of fashion, music, culture and luxury hospitality.
Presented in partnership with Stella Artois, Zawadi Yamungu’s appearance will form part of a specially curated “Stella Moment” — a signature live performance designed to celebrate culture, identity and meaningful connection through music.
Renowned for her powerful vocals and ability to bridge tradition with contemporary artistry, Zawadi has become one of South Africa’s most respected cultural voices. Her performances are known for celebrating African heritage while creating memorable experiences that resonate with audiences across generations.
Her inclusion aligns perfectly with this year’s theme, The African Frontier, which explores the meeting point between heritage and modern luxury. The theme aims to showcase African excellence through fashion, entertainment, storytelling and premium experiences.
“Zawadi represents the spirit of what we’re building at Saso’s Marquee Experience with Stella Artois,”
“She embodies authenticity, excellence and cultural pride. Through our partnership with Stella Artois, we’re creating moments that go beyond entertainment and become meaningful experiences for our guests.”

As an official partner of the marquee, Stella Artois continues to play a key role in elevating the guest experience through curated moments that celebrate craftsmanship, culture and connection.
With anticipation already building ahead of race day, organisers have confirmed that additional artist announcements and exclusive experience reveals will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
As one of the most sought-after destinations during Durban July weekend, Saso’s Marquee Experience continues to position itself at the forefront of luxury lifestyle events, blending contemporary African culture with world-class hospitality and entertainment.
