‘Pearl Modiadie personifies what the brand stands for’

In a statement on Wednesday, The African Deluxe Company’s frontman and executive producer of the event Ben Moseme said the Standard Bank Polo in The Park event is not only about the polo, but also about the lifestyle that accompanies the time-honoured sport: the fashion, the food and the music.

“This highly prestigious polo affair was not only created to celebrate life but also to showcase what SA has to offer to the rest of the world.

“Our passion to develop the sport of kings in the country has culminated in this annual gathering, which we will continue to grow annually.

“This year we are elated to have partnered with someone who truly personifies what the brand stands for and who is a true reflection of African excellence, so we welcome Pearl Modiadie to the Standard Bank Joburg Polo family,” said Moseme.
