Brought to you by G&G Productions.

If partying with beautiful people, dancing to the hottest electronic dance music and gazing at the spectacular scenery of the Ballito coastline is your idea of the perfect way to spend the last night of 2013, then you need to be at the Samsung GALAXYexperience and 5FM’s New Year’s Eve street party at the Village Centre in Ballito.

Now in its ninth year, this year’s party is entitled ‘Get Ready To Jump’ and will feature Ibiza resident DJ Danny Avila, along with a 5FM powerhouse line-up that includes Gareth Cliff, Roger Goode, DJ Milkshake and more.

DJ prodigy Danny Avila has a true talent for reading the dance floor and was recognized by the industry as ‘Best Newcomer DJ’ when he was just 16.
Now, at the grand old age of 19, Danny Avila has become one of the hottest acts in the world of EDM. With an incredible Ibiza season last year, he caught the attention of everyone including Tiësto and dance bible DJ Mag where he became the youngest ever Covermount CD artist. With acclaimed debut sets at Coachella, Ultra Music Festival and inclusion in Billboard, MTV and Dancing Astronaut’s 2013 Ones To Watch lists, Avila is the name on everyone’s lips – and rightly so.

Enjoy his flair and genius live at SA’s biggest New Year’s Eve party with five sensational dance floors and a hugely impressive DJ line-up. On the main floor is 5FM’s ever-popular Gareth Cliff, eccentric dance maestro Roger Goode and Hip Hop phenomenon Milkshake. SA’s favourite dance duo, Pascal & Pearce Ian Credible and Kyle Worde will also tear up the decks.

FREE Family Day at Hollywoodbets Greyville

Champions Season Kicks Off in Style with a FREE Family Day at Hollywoodbets Greyville

The highly anticipated Champions Season bursts into action on Saturday, 11 April at Hollywoodbets Greyville, setting the tone for South Africa’s premier racing calendar with a vibrant day of top-class racing, entertainment, and family-friendly fun — all completely FREE to attend.

Gates open at 10:00am, inviting racegoers, families, and first-time visitors alike to experience the thrill of the sport in an accessible and festive environment.

At the heart of the day’s racing programme is the Race Coast Sales Big Cap, a R5 million feature that continues to grow in stature following its successful debut and is fast establishing itself as one of the most innovative contests in South African racing.

Run over 1400m, the Big Cap brings together an elite mix of top-class horses and influential slot holders, where strategy and strength play an equally decisive role. The 2025 debut delivered a high-quality and competitive spectacle, showcasing the tactical depth of the slot race concept and setting a strong benchmark for the future.

That foundation adds an extra layer of intrigue to the 2026 renewal, with connections returning more experienced and strategically aware. The contest features a compelling clash of power and depth, headlined by the highest-rated runner in the field, alongside formidable operations such as Snaith Racing. Key slot holders including the Wernars Family, Rikesh Sewgoolam, Ralphs Racing and Peter Moor add further competitiveness, underlining the race’s growing industry significance.

With a substantial stake on offer, R5 million in total, including R3 million to the winner, and increasing attention from across the sport, this is no ordinary race and continues to attract serious investment and participation.

Adding to the excitement is the Race Coast Sales Slipper, a standout juvenile contest run over 1200m with a lucrative R3 million incentive. Together, the Big Cap (R5 million) and Slipper (R3 million) offer a combined R8 million in feature race prize money on the day. Positioned at a key point in the season and staged in KwaZulu-Natal, the Slipper has become increasingly competitive, with top juveniles lining up to contest the rich prize.

The combination of timing, location, and significant stakes ensures that owners and trainers target the race early, aiming to secure a share of the substantial purse. With each running, the quality and depth of the field continues to improve, offering racing fans a glimpse of the next generation of stars.

Beyond the track, the day promises a lively social atmosphere with a mix of entertainment, activations, and relaxed outdoor enjoyment. Whether you’re a seasoned racing enthusiast or simply looking for a great day out in Durban, the opening event delivers something for everyone.

“Champions Season is about more than just elite racing — it’s about creating an inclusive, energetic experience that brings people together,” said Race Coast KZN Acting COO, Dean Sawarjith. “Starting the season with a free, open-to-all event at Hollywoodbets Greyville reflects that spirit perfectly.”

With warm autumn weather, world-class racing, and a welcoming environment, 11 April is set to be the perfect introduction to the excitement of Champions Season.
