Makubenjalo, Martell and OMODA promise an unforgettable luxury lifestyle experience at Greyville Racecourse
The countdown to the Hollywoodbets Durban July 2026 is officially on, and Njalos by Makubenjalo has turned up the excitement by revealing an all-star entertainment line-up for one of South Africa’s most anticipated lifestyle experiences.
Following a glamorous launch event in Soweto, Makubenjalo, together with Martell and OMODA, confirmed a powerhouse roster of artists set to take over Greyville Racecourse on Saturday, 4 July 2026.
Returning bigger and bolder, Njalos continues to cement its status as one of the premier luxury hospitality destinations during Durban July weekend, where fashion, music, culture and premium experiences come together.
A powerhouse line-up takes centre stage
This year’s entertainment programme brings together some of South Africa’s biggest names in music, including:

Beyond the music, Njalos will once again attract celebrities, media personalities, influencers, tastemakers and South Africa’s style elite, making it one of the hottest social events on the country’s entertainment calendar.
Where luxury meets culture
Building on the success of previous editions, Makubenjalo has evolved into far more than a hospitality suite. It has become a cultural destination where premium experiences, fashion, fine dining and entertainment converge.

Speaking about the collaboration, Dudu Mokholo, Chief Marketing Officer for Africa Middle East at Pernod Ricard, said:
“Makubenjalo has created more than a premium destination. It has created a cultural signature — bold, proudly South African, and impossible to miss. Together, Martell and Makubenjalo are bringing audacity, elegance and distinction to Africa’s most iconic race day.”
As anticipation continues to build ahead of race day, Njalos is once again shaping up to be one of the must-visit destinations of the Hollywoodbets Durban July, where every detail celebrates sophistication, entertainment and modern South African luxury.
