South Africa’s biggest summer racing, fashion and entertainment
event, the R2-million, Grade 1 J&B Met can be viewed by
the general public on SABC 2 live and uninterrupted from Kenilworth
Racecourse from 14:00 to 17:30 on Saturday, January 27.
The competition that is being run on the sister channel TV
3, offering a stay in Cape Town and VIP access to the J&B
Met, has significantly contributed to the additional public
awareness of the raceday, and in excess of 10 000 competition
entries have been received thus far.
There is naturally considerable public interest in the event,
and television programmes covering the J&B Met include:
3Talk, Noted, Top Billing, eTV Sports and News, as well as SABC3
news, eTV That Sports Channel, Africa Mosaic, and Selimathunzi
- the most popular magazine programme on SABC.
Requests for media accreditation have also been received from
television crews shooting for both a French and a German production.
