Polo matches
Two teams featuring SA's best players will compete for the winner's title in a polo match. Guests at the event will be able to watch the match while sipping on champagne and dining on a delicious buffet. In addition, networking will be the order of the day, as high-profile guests will include the entertainment industry's top brass, celebrities, politicians and sports stars.
"In a similar way to how Twenty20 has changed the image of cricket, the Queen Mother’s Charity Polo Cup has adapted the traditional rules of polo to create a high-octane, fast- moving and dynamic sport which attracts spectators and the media alike," says Dr Molotlegi.
