Three iconic brands—Makubenjalo, Martell, and OMODA—are teaming up to create one of the most anticipated luxury experiences at this year's Hollywoodbets Durban July.
**Three iconic brands. One extraordinary vision.**
Building on last year's success, Makubenjalo is returning with OMODA and Martell to deliver an elevated marquee experience that celebrates style, culture, innovation, and modern luxury.
This year's theme, **Country Allure**, blends heritage and craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication. Think countryside elegance meets modern luxury—all through a distinctly South African lens that celebrates authenticity and timeless style.
**The Launch: Friday, June 26th, 2026**
Before race day arrives, we're kicking things off with the Njalo's Durban July Launch event. This exclusive evening brings together South Africa's top tastemakers, creatives, media personalities, and cultural influencers for a night where luxury and entertainment collide.
