Anlia Etzebeth will be bringing purple star power to the Hollywoodbets Durban July on July 4.

The actress and singer is set to perform the national anthem at South Africa’s premier horse racing event, on Saturday July 4. A hit on both screen and stage, Anlia has delivered standout live moments, including a powerful rendition of the South African anthem at Cape Town Stadium in 2022 when Springbok, Eben Etzebeth, marked his 100th test cap with a Man of the Match performance.

Anlia and Eben are both Hollywoodbets Brand Ambassadors and say they are very excited ahead of the big day. 

“It is always such an incredible honour to sing our National Anthem! It is even more special to get to sing it at this year’s Hollywoodbets Durban July. I cannot wait!” said Anlia. She is known to international and local TV audiences for her roles in Raised By Wolves, and the soapies, Getroud Met Rugby and Suidooster. 

Eben’s rugby fans, who number in the millions, can’t get enough of the hard-charging No. 4 and all-time most capped Springbok (141 appearances). The power couple moved to KwaZulu-Natal from France after Eben signed with the Hollywoodbets Sharks in 2022.

Anlia will be part of a spectacular showcase at the Hollywoodbets Durban July, drawing thousands to Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse on the first Saturday in July. As the event celebrates its 130th edition, racegoers can expect a winning blend of world-class racing, high fashion, music and entertainment.

This year’s theme is “Country Allure”. It’s an invitation to designers, fashion-lovers, and racegoers to draw inspiration from our country’s dramatic, rural landscapes and the elegance of our equestrian culture. 

Tickets are now on sale for general admission, picnic sites and VIP hospitality packages, and parking via Ticketpro (www.ticketpro.co.za).
