The Sun Met campaign will feature award-winning media personality, television sensation and entrepreneur Bonang Matheba, who brings with her the House of BNG MCC as the official celebration partner.
“It is my great honour to join the celebration and the thrill of The Sun Met – Africa’s richest race day. House of BNG and this year’s theme ‘African Luxury: Visionaries’ are a match made in heaven!

Not to be outdone, Miss South Africa, Zozibini Tunzi joins Queen B as the face of ‘African Luxury: Visionaries’.
Lead designer for Sun Met 2020 Palesa Mokubung styled and dressed both Matheba and Tunzi in her Mantsho designs for the campaign shoot.
“My vision for the Sun Met embodies African finesse and is inspired by a generation of Africans that are both global and still embrace their culture”, said Mokubung.
Sun International chief executive Anthony Leeming commented: “We want to pay homage to the visionaries. To introduce a platform where creatives of all kinds can showcase their ideas – to write and share their stories through fashion, music, technology and horse racing. It’s where imagination comes to life in all aspects.”
