THE coal mining town of Dundee in northern KwaZulu-Natal came alive yesterday for the annual Dundee July, a rural horseracing event.
KwaZulu-Natal Premier, Thamsanqa Ntuli, attended the 20th edition of the Dundee July, which was hosted by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture.
The gloomy and cold weather conditions failed to dampen the spirits of the horse-racing enthusiasts who came in large numbers to watch the prestigious traditional horse racing event.
This popular event was established in 2005 for the purpose of rural, social and skills development for the people who are from previously disadvantaged communities.
At yesterday's event there was colour, rhythm and excitement as locals and guests took part in a spectacular street parade.
The Dundee July has grown into a flagship event that blends sport, arts, fashion, and traditional heritage, drawing thousands of spectators, stimulating local economies, and providing a platform for emerging creatives and entrepreneurs.
It is a space where tradition meets modern vibrancy — a true showcase of the province’s richness and diversity.
