DJ Tira has been hosting his Afrotainment Marquee at the Hollywoodbets Durban July for several years, and each year he manages to top the last.

For this year’s festivities, the renowned music producer partnered with global smart device brand HONOR to elevate the experience for attendees.

The Afrotainment Marquee featured an outside and indoor seating area, excellently decorated, setting an ambiance that gave high-life vibes. 

The red carpet was beautifully laid out for guests to enjoy and allowed them to take pictures at the top of the stairway that had a grand piano, flowers and HONOR signage.

Guests included some of the country’s famous faces, such as DJ Zinhle, Nonkanyiso ‘LaConco’ Conco, Big Zulu, Gugu Khathi, “Big Brother Mzansi” winner Sweet Guluva, former “Big Brother Mzansi” contestant Ashley Ogle, Liyema Pantsi and Yolanda Monyai.

“The Afrotainment Marquee has always stood for world-class entertainment and unforgettable experiences,” said DJ Tira 

“Partnering with HONOR, a brand that shares our vision of innovation and excellence, will take this year’s Durban July to the next level. We’re excited to co-create a space that’s both stylish and smart.”

HONOR's partnership with Afrotainment shows the growth of DJ Tira’s relationship with the global brand for which he is an ambassador.
