The Mother City’s economy would see a significant boost with the hosting of its first Formula E race in February 2023.

Illana Pereira, from Tourvest Destination Management, spoke to eNCA and says sports tourism is already a big money generator for the Western Cape.

Pereira attended the London Formula E-race this past weekend and says Cape Town has provisionally been rostered to host the February 2023 event.
