Lux Afrique, The First African Luxury Polo Event
African Luxury Polo Event : Lux Afrique

Lux Afrique, the first African Luxury event took place on Saturday. The day was nothing short of eventful with the African team, led by the illustrious Neku Atawodi - also known as Africa’s “Polo Queen”, meeting their match in their non-African competitors. Despite record-breaking heat, the enthusiasm was intact. The spirits remained high as the focus turned from the polo towards the fashion trends of the day.


 

The outfits were nothing short of mesmerising - chic, colourful, loud– as to be expected at a luxury African polo event. The event had a special vibe attached to it. The enthusiasm was at the next level among the crowd.

The weather allowed for plentiful opportunity to exhibit one’s stylish ensemble in hope of being considered for the Best Dressed Lady and Man title. The competition was tight; however, it was former Miss Kenya and East Africa UK, Vicky Ngari-Wilson who was crowned the Best Dressed Lady; later revealing that her outfit was made by Kenyan children who she trains as part of her fashion business.
 

 

 

The enthusiasm was ardently transmitted onto social media with the hashtag #luxafriquepolo having been used over 500 times (519) between the social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter and Facebook) and counting.

The formalities of the event were concluded with Sello Hatang, CEO of the Mandela Foundation, delivering a poignant but inspiring speech bringing many of the guests to tears. The first African luxury polo event was a huge success and most probably the African Luxury Polo event would be held again next year.
