It has been officially confirmed that Prince Harry will be playing in the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup, which will take place for the first time on African soil on 28 November 2015 at Val de Vie Estate.
Val de Vie is set to welcome royalty and honoured guests to its premises – and to the scenic Paarl-Franschhoek Valley – as the official host of this esteemed event, which was conceptualised by Prince Harry in 2010.
Now in its sixth year, the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup is the largest one day charity polo event in the world, and is specifically held to raise money for Sentebale – a charity founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso to assist Lesotho’s vulnerable children.
To date, the event has raised over R60 million for Sentebale and once again, all proceeds of this year’s polo cup will go to the charity.
This year’s event will take place two days after the opening ceremony of Sentebale’s Mamohato Children’s Centre in Lesotho – the first centre of its kind in Southern Africa that will provide children affected by HIV/AIDS with the best care available.
“We are extremely honoured to host the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup at Val de Vie. It is likewise a privilege to welcome the founders of Sentebale – Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso – to our estate. Like Sentebale, we are passionate about helping those in need, and are pleased to be able to play a supporting role in the excellent work that this charity is doing in a country so close to ours, ” Marketing Director at Val de Vie Estate, Ryk Neethling said.
