Return of Formula One to South Africa moves a BIG step closer
The Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit has moved closer to rejoining the Formula One calendar after motorsport's global governing body, the FIA, approved final design proposals to upgrade the venue to Grade 1 status – a critical requirement for hosting Formula One events. At a media briefing on Wednesday, circuit owner Toby Venter and Apex Circuit Design founder Clive Bowen announced the milestone, marking the culmination of a five-year development process. When South Africans connect, we don't just network; we build a community. The Lekker Network is a professional network where every conversation starts with, 'How can I help you?' Come join us & be a part of a community of extraordinary Saffas. Apex, the UK-based firm behind the Miami Grand Prix layout, is overseeing the upgrade plans. 'This is a defining moment for South African motorsport,' said Venter. 'When we acquired Kyalami in 2014, we committed to restoring it as a world-class venue. The FIA's acceptance of our Grade 1 design is a major step forward.' Sports minister Gayton McKenzie was quick to highlight the news on X, posting: 'A massive step towards bringing @F1 to South Africa'. Kyalami last hosted a Formula One Grand Prix in 1993, won by Alain Prost in a Williams FW15C. If the planned upgrades are completed and a final inspection is passed, the circuit would become the only FIA Grade 1 venue on the African continent. The approved plans maintain Kyalami's current layout, but include crucial safety and infrastructure enhancements, such as expanded run-off areas, improved barrier systems, and upgraded kerbing and drainage. 'It's a light-touch upgrade in engineering terms,' Bowen explained, 'but one that aligns the circuit with modern F1 standards.' The FIA has granted Kyalami a three-year window to complete the work, which will be phased to avoid disrupting the circuit's existing schedule. Full implementation will depend on whether South Africa secures a place on the Formula One calendar and if Kyalami is selected as the host venue. 'Today, we turn the page to a bold new chapter for Kyalami,' said Venter. 'We are ready for the return of Formula One to African soil.' However, Kyalami still faces competition to be South Africa's preferred destination for a grand prix. The Cape Town Grand Prix SA (CTGPSA) recently announced plans to submit a bid to South Africa's Bid Steering Committee (BSC) to return Formula One to the country. Gayton McKenzie has repeatedly called for the return of F1 to the country and created the BSC to oversee the bid process. CTGPSA proposed a Formula One street race in the Cape Town Green Point Sport Tourism Precinct, with a 5.7km circuit around the Cape Town Stadium, built to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Cape Town hosted a Formula E, which exclusively features electric sports cars, in 2023, which was estimated to generate over R1 billion in economic impact, despite its relatively minor fanbase compared to Formula One.

Picture: djdoowap/Instagram Eswatini-born South African DJ Doowap is taking South Africa's street culture to Europe with her tour of Germany and France, where she'll also bring the vibe to the Paris Fashion Week. 'I'm putting together a set featuring sounds from South Africa, Nigeria, and some incredible new tracks I've discovered while here in Paris. It's going to be one of those nights where people are dancing, singing, and sweating, exactly the high-octane energy I love to create,' Doowap told The Citizen.

She spoke to The Citizen during her tour in Europe, which began in early June and will conclude at the end of the month. Doowap was part of Berlin's Carnival of Cultures, one of Germany's largest festivals, renowned for its diversity. However, Doowap's first set was at the pre-party event of the carnival at a new spot called MAAYA, where the Freak De L'Afrique party was held. 'The event had three dancefloors and showcased talent from across the African continent. It was completely sold out, and the love for the sounds coming out of South Africa was exhilarating. I played a DJ set blending Amapiano, Bacardi, and Gqom, and the response was electric,' shared the DJ. The following day, she performed to 700 000 people, the biggest crowd she's ever performed for. 'There are videos circulating online, and I still get goosebumps every time I watch them,' said the Thunda Thighs artist. 'It's been such a memorable way to start the tour, and now I'm headed to Paris for the next chapter, with the first two shows lined up for Fête de la Musique this Saturday. The energy so far has been next-level, and I can't wait to keep it going.'

'As someone who's super into fashion, I always find it inspiring to be surrounded by a creative scene where people from all over the world come together and shift culture forward,' said Doowap. This year, Doowap will be playing at the Jerk & Jollof x Places+Faces party on 26 June. ALSO READ: Proteas WAGS: Meet SA's gorgeous cricket maidens! [IN PICS] Doowap on a Bacardi wave Last week, Doowap released a new song, Seroba Ke She, which has a strong Bacardi sound. Bacardi is a house music subgenre that originates from Pretoria townships, characterised by a heavy drum and bass sound. 'Since last year, I've been on a serious Bacardi wave – I truly believe it's our next great sound export after Amapiano and Afrotech,' says the DJ. Doowap says what attracted her to the sound was its high energy and the dance culture around Bacardi. To ensure authenticity, Doowap has collaborated with artists from Pretoria and also recorded in various townships. She has collaborated with Enny Man Da Guitar, whom she made both Shay'sthombe and Seroba Ke Seh with, as well as DJ Mobla and Nyico Loco, who helped craft her next single dropping in August. 'I've also teamed up with younger artists like lyricist and producer Vine Musiq to help bring a fresh, new-age feel to the genre,' said Doowap. 'Even though Bacardi is a Pitori sound, it's a movement that deserves to grow nationally and internationally, and I'm excited to be one of the artists helping to carry it beyond Pretoria while staying true to its origins.'
