Just a few weeks ago, talented designer Rich Mnisi was selling a Xibelani skirt for a whooping R59 000. The skirt was crafted from 5km of 100% Merino Wool knotted onto nickel plated d-rings attached to a leather waist belt. While a lot of people were still deliberating about the exorbitant price, the skirt was sold out in just a matter of days. Some concluded that the buyers must be international celebrities, some of which are his clients.
Another personality, who is taking the Xitsonga tradition to the world, is Takkies. The popular choreographer and all-around influencer, currently resides in London with her husband Chris Dinwiddy and their two adorable daughters. It has been a little over a year since the family moved, but Takkies has not forgotten her roots. The most amazing thing is that, she teaches her daughters about the beautiful Xitsonga culture.
