Dlala Thukzin will dazzle the crowds right before race organisers dip in to reveal the winners of the Lucky Draw prizes valued at R70,000, and the gorgeous Hyundai Exter 1.2 Premium MT to the value of R269,900.

The dynamite duo, husband and wife team Jane and Liam Magner will revitalise the crowds as they come through the finish line.
