Sun City was the place to be this past weekend as thousands of South Africans descended on the luxury resort for FonCity 2026, turning the North West destination into a four-day celebration of music, fashion, entertainment and luxury.
Hosted by Homecoming Events from 6 to 9 November, the highly anticipated Sun City Takeover attracted approximately 3,500 attendees, including celebrities, influencers and music lovers.
Under the theme "A Journey Through Time", guests enjoyed pool parties, exclusive performances and glamorous themed events. Some of the country's biggest entertainers, including DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, DBN Gogo, Focalistic and Young Stunna, kept the crowds entertained throughout the weekend.
With packages reportedly starting at R13,700, FonCity sparked conversations online about whether the experience was worth the hefty price tag. However, that didn't stop tickets from selling out in less than an hour.
The weekend also attracted controversy after businessman MySol reportedly caused frustration among guests with his luxury vehicle convoy. FonCity co-founder Katlego Malatji later posted a cryptic tweet stating, "That guy will never taste this event again", leaving social media users speculating about whether MySol had been banned from future events.
