Glamour, creativity and culture converged in New York City as Stella Artois hosted its latest edition of ‘Let’s Do Dinner’, a global series that brings together visionaries, icons and creators for the simple joy of sharing a meal. South African actor and entrepreneur Thapelo Mokoena was among the esteemed guests rubbing shoulders with the likes of David Beckham and Maria Sharapova at the invitation-only dinner.

The evening was more than just fine dining, it was about conversations that connect cultures and foster meaningful connections. Mokoena, known for his work as an actor and entrepreneur, represented South Africa with pride, showcasing effortless style and sophistication. He expressed his gratitude for being part of the event, saying, “It’s a privilege to bring a South African voice to such a global cultural table. To be in the company of such incredible people and to represent my country on a night like this is something I will carry with me forever.”

Mokoena’s presence at the event elevated South African voices on the global stage, highlighting the country’s talent, vision and sophistication. As a recently appointed advisory board member of the African Film Finance Forum, Mokoena will attend the summit in Nigeria next week where global leaders will gather to explore ways to grow the African Film & TV industry into a $60 billion market.

Stella Artois’ ‘Let’s Do Dinner’ series celebrates the timeless ritual of gathering around the table proving that when food, conversation, and culture meet, life becomes truly worth more. The event embodies the brand’s belief that dinner is more than a meal, it’s a moment of connection, joy as well as cultural exchange.

The ‘Let’s Do Dinner’ series has become a platform for icons, visionaries, and creators to come together and share ideas. Mokoena’s participation in the event demonstrates his commitment to bridging Africa with the world through meaningful conversations and cultural exchange. As Blaire Jorgensen, Marketing Manager at Stella Artois, notes, “Bringing together icons like David Beckham, Maria Sharapova and South Africa’s Thapelo Mokoena shows how powerful those shared moments can be. They remind us that what unites us is greater than what divides us.”
