DHL Dancers (CPT Vibe Crew) What are the DHL Stormers without their trusty cheerleaders, the DHL Dancers? Come rain or shine, the dancers make sure they entertain and energise the crowds; both at the stadium and at home.

Durban - 8 November

Cape Town Food Trucks...

With over 30 trucks on our book, Cape Town Food Trucks is all about bringing gourmet food to the best spots in Cape Town. Introducing the worldwide mobile food truck phenomenon to our beautiful city, Cape Town.

Monark (Band Entertainment – All three regions) Monark is a five piece pop band from Gauteng, South Africa. The band was formed when producer Ewald Jansen van Rensburg teamed up with friend and vocalist Eugene Coetzer. For a couple of years they worked towards finding the specific sound they were after. Once they felt they had discovered it, they gathered together the musicians that were needed to grow and perform the music.

Their first single “Smiling” was released in May 2013 and immediately gained mainstream attention and popularity on major radio stations throughout South Africa: charting at no.3 on 5fm and currently climbing the Kia Take 40 SA chart (September/October 2013).

I heart market (DBN Market) I heart market showcases innovative, handmade, home-made and locally designed crafts, art, fashion, jewellery, home-ware, kiddie’s goods, artisanal foods and recycled, up cycled and second hand gems.
