The marquee emphasised that luxury, culture, and a contemporary South African lifestyle will be taking centre stage. Guests will be treated to music, fashion, good vibes and high spirits.

Marketing Specialist for OMODA and JAECOO, Lungelo Zwane, said, “Durban July is a celebration of style, culture and individuality, which speaks directly to the spirit of the OMODA brand. Last year’s marquee allowed us to connect with our customers in a way that went far beyond the showroom. It was about giving them an experience they would remember. This year, we are taking that same spirit and elevating it even further.”

However, they have another trick up their sleeve: Njalos announced an addition of more celebrities, media personalities and influencers. One thing's for sure, it will be a star-studded affair!

Taking to Instagram, Boom Shaka posted a video attending the exclusive event, further elevating the hype leading to their much-anticipated performance.

Mzansi stars turn heads at Hollywoodbets Durban July 2025

In a previous report from Briefly News, Mzansi's fashion heads turned up the heat at the 2025 Durban July, which happened at the Durban Greyville Racecourse on Saturday, 5 July 2025.

Fashion designer Siphosihle Masango styled social media beauty influencer Mihlali Ndamase and former sangoma turned DJ Gogo Skhotheni. He spoke about how he designed Mihlali's dress, saying he drew inspiration from the cultural dynamo, Esther Mahlangu, for his execution of the Marvels of Mzansi theme. Her dress also paid homage to the bustling yet lively city of Johannesburg, with a visible Ndebele design which carried out the theme effortlessly.

Meanwhile, Gogo Skhotheni was a real-life Ndebele queen, as she walked in a floor-length ensemble, also drawing inspiration from the talented Mahlangu.
