When reached for comment, the duo shared with this publication that this event is the first-ever event hosted by the Trend Twins with Sibane Sami Hotel.
“It’s inspired by the fact that the ladies are known for dressing up in those tennis skirts, so they decided to do an event of what they loved about, in terms of fashion, which is the tennis outfit, and they chose a tennis open, being the Wimbledon, as the theme,” said the duo.
“People should pull up in numbers, as Sibane Sami Hotel will be the place to be, not only will people enjoy the event, but they will also get a chance to see the beauty of this hotel with a rich history,” they said.
The Trend Twins are fresh from performing at the Maletsunyane Braai Festival in Lesotho over the weekend. The festival was held from November 29 to December 1, 2024. It is worth mentioning that this was their second time performing at this festival.
