This year’s event, set for July 6, promises to be bigger and better, drawing enthusiasts from across Botswana and South Africa. Frank 'Stunner' Seremeng, the passionate founder and host of the event said his love for motorsport, particularly car spinning, is the driving force behind this initiative. “My dream is to see car spinning grow big in Palapye and Botswana,” he shared. Seremeng has been instrumental in nurturing this sport locally, having organised car spinning events since December 2022. He says the increasing attendance and enthusiasm for these events has motivated him to expand from an annual December event to include a winter spin session, marking his birthday with this special celebration.
Seremeng told Arts&Culture that the event will feature thrilling performances by local and international car spinners, including Team Sheriff, The General, King Joe, Bossphiri, Malamantsho, Vmud, Ronnie V8 and Stunner Bw himself. “Additionally, attendees will enjoy musical performances by Djs such as Tefo Bright, Ace De XklusiV, MoniQ D, and MC Becha, alongside DJs Kellz_bag, DJ Hakeem, and Deep Nation Deejays,” he added. He further stated that the Stunner’s Birthday Spin & Chill is not just about entertainment but it also plays a significant role in supporting the local economy.
He said the event creates employment opportunities for various sectors, including tyre changers, security personnel, DJs, food stall operators, lights and generator hire services. Furthermore, he explained that it promotes sports tourism, attracting spectators who will lodge in Palapye, thus boosting the local hospitality industry. As such, Seremeng highlighted the importance of community and corporate support in making such events successful. “So far, I rely on what I make, the help from supporters such as Proper-arc mining group, PyBimmer Breakers, Mumbuy Auto Style, Clubmania Events, Mor-flare Enterprises, and Kraygee Auto Paint Shop, and ticket sales. The event aims to foster growth within the local car spinning community and the sport itself, encouraging skill exchange with seasoned spinners from South Africa,” he said. "Stunner’s Birthday Spin & Chill promises a day of high-octane fun and community spirit. Whether you’re a motorsport enthusiast or simply looking for an exciting way to spend the day, this event is not to be missed. Come celebrate, enjoy the performances, and witness the spectacular displays of car spinning talent. Hosting this event is a dream come true. I want to see car spinning flourish in Palapye and Botswana. It’s about bringing people together, creating jobs, and sharing the love for this thrilling sport,” he added.
Tickets for the event are available at various points of sale around Palapye. Standard tickets are priced at P80, double tickets at P150 while children’s tickets costs (under 13) P50. Tickets can also be purchased at the gate for P100. Seeremeng said the event is being actively promoted through social media platforms and billboards around Palapye to attract a large crowd.
