In association with Bravo Brands, the Aon Inanda International Polo hosted us at their luxurious Inanda Club in Sandton, Johannesburg for the much anticipated Polo match on May 7th, and it was a beautiful day out. The agenda of the day was the epic 23-goal clash between South Africa and Argentina. This was a home-ground loss for South Africa as Argentina took the winning title with a score of 5-10.
A sunny Saturday afternoon and scenic views of the prestigious Inanda Club made for the perfect day. Guests gathered in stunning, high-end fashion inspired by the event’s Royal Polo Chic theme.
