Johannesburg is buzzing with anticipation as it gears up for Africa’s richest race – the R6 million Betway Summer Cup.
This year, the theme ‘Silks in the City’ adds a unique flair to the event, inspired by the vibrant and colourful silks worn by jockeys during races.
Appropriately, the Johannesburg CBD was the setting for this year’s Betway Summer Cup photoshoot, featuring Miss South Africa winners Tansey Coetzee (2007) and Ndavi Nokeri (2022), directed by Glamour Magazine’s Fashion Director Tania Durand.

“I’m extremely excited about this partnership and lending Glamour’s voice of authority in all things fashion for this prestigious event. The shoot was such a fun experience and working with Tansey and Ndavi was an absolute pleasure as well as the entire 4Racing team. Being able to capture the essence of JHB in this editorial was essential in setting the tone for the event. We hope the attendees will be inspired by some of the looks we’ve styled and ultimately enjoy the event while looking amazing!” said the Fashion Director.

The Miss SA 2007 winner Tansey Coetzee said, “Shooting in the city was a lot of fun! There’s so much going on around you; it’s vibrant, colourful, artistic, and exciting. The everyday people of the city were such an inspiration – we gave them a surprise fashion show dressed in some of South Africa’s leading designer outfits, serving a glimpse of what’s to come at this year’s Betway Summer Cup, whilst truly capturing the energy of the city.”

“I love the fact that we were literally ‘out in the streets’ for this year’s Betway Summer Cup shoot. Johannesburg is such a vibrant city full of texture and contrast, and it’s relatable as a central hub for the people of South Africa. It’s a place where people walk every day and speaks directly to the Summer Cup being The People’s Race, so I think South Africans will relate to how we captured Silks in the City,” said Nokeri.
Silks are the intricate patterns and colours help identify the horse and owner. The theme ‘Silks In The City’ offers a playful nod to the famed HBO series ‘Sex and the City’, which left a lasting legacy on urban lifestyles and fashion – an apt homage to Johannesburg’s flourishing fashion industry and metropolitan energy, while capturing the colourful heritage of horseracing.
“As we look forward to this year’s Betway Summer Cup, we are thrilled to put on Africa’s richest race but to provide an experience that brings together the very best of South African horse racing, entertainment, fashion and urban sophistication. Our 2024 theme perfectly captures the colourful heritage of this sport alongside the energy of Johannesburg, ensuring an unforgettable day for everyone,” said Fundi Sithebe, 4Racing CEO.
True to its name as The People’s Race, there’s something for everyone at the Betway Summer Cup. Attendees can enjoy a variety of stylish hospitality areas for the perfect view of the races on the day, enjoy delicious food offerings, witness local designer fashion shows and spot Mzansi’s hottest celebrities on the glamorous black carpet.
This year’s entertainment will be headlined at the halftime show by the dynamic South African trio Mi Casa, who have recently released their much-anticipated sixth studio album, ‘THR3E’. Ricky Tyler and Gigi will perform the Summer Cup Anthem ‘City Lights’, and the FunkItUp DJs, including Chrizz Beatz and Vin Deysel, and Miss Cosmo will hit the decks for the official Betway Summer Cup after party.
