How do you have a party without this trio these days?
They given the nod as last year’s Best Hospitality Facility at the Durban July, and with MTV Base releasing the list of performers set to rock their marquee on July 6 and 7, it’s hard to see them not winning it again.
Very few people that go to the race event go to put bets on their favourite horses- that’s why hospitality matters more than the goings-on on the course. So securing the biggest stars and catering for your marquee puts you ahead of the pack.
The now indie Pro Kid will let us in on his new material
Without trying to great controversy, it is disappointing that no female artists are on the bill. But MTV Base can still be forgiven, because Donald, Mi Casa, Zakes Bantwini, Teargas, Pro Kid, JR, Lulo Cafe, Black Coffee, Dimplez and DJ Vigilante will be on hand to entertain invitees. The MTV Base Lifestyle Oasis Village will be located in the Ascot Village.
Before all the glitz of the main day, a pre-party will be held at De La Sol at 10pm, and will feature DJs Vinny Da Vinci, Sphectacula & Naves, and again Lulo Cafe.
Partaaaaay!

Even though we love to complain about how predictable and boring soapies are, for some reason we just can’t stop watching them and always want to see what the characters are up to.
Well, rumour has it that three stars of the long-running American soap the Bold and the Beautiful are heading our way in the next few days for a meet and greet with the fans.
Soapie fans will get to meet the people behind Steffy Forrester, Owen Knight (also on our screens as Shawn Brady in Days of our Lives) and Nick Marone.
You can head down to Eastgate shopping center in Johannesburg, Maponya Mall in Soweto, Canal Walk in Cape Town or the Pavilion in Durban to get their autograph.
