Big news from Saso's Marquee Experience - they're teaming up with MaXhosa Africa for this year's Hollywoodbets Durban July. This marks the first collaboration between these two major brands.

MaXhosa Africa, created by designer Laduma Ngxokolo, is now the official Culture and Fashion Partner. They're bringing their first-ever Durban fashion show, featuring exclusive pieces you won't see anywhere else. The partnership was announced at MaXhosa's Johannesburg headquarters.

Fresh off their impressive Paris Fashion Week showing, MaXhosa is bringing that same international energy to Durban July.

"This partnership felt natural," says Lusaso "Saso" Ngcobo. "We both celebrate African excellence at the highest level."

Ngxokolo says this lets them expand into KZN and showcase their full lifestyle brand, not just fashion.

The marquee has locked in top-tier partners too. Stella Artois handles hospitality, Moët & Chandon brings the champagne, and Amapiano star Kabza De Small headlines the entertainment.

After winning Best Marquee at the 2025 Durban July, expectations are high for 2026.

Tickets are available now. Follow @sasosmarquee for updates before July 4, 2026.
