Simphiwe Dana Drags Nomzamo Mbatha and Shaka iLembe for Not Acknowledging Her On Hairstyle Ideas

Simphiwe Dana Drags Nomzamo Mbatha and Shaka iLembe for Not Acknowledging Her On Hairstyle Ideas. Both Simphiwe Dana and Nomzamo Mbatha are big on tribal braids. For the longest time, the two ladies have rocked beautiful natural hair inspired hairstyles. Although Nomzamo wears wigs at times, it goes without saying that natural has always been her forte.
Shaka iLembe, a series where Nomzamo plays Queen Nandi, proudly showcases a rich heritage, with natural hair styled in traditional ways that celebrate culture and pride. Head of Hair and Makeup Design Queen Motlatle have conjured a visual symphony, infusing every frame with unmatched authenticity that breathes life into history. Most of the hairstyles the cast members rock, are popular among some celebrities. They are usually worn by the likes of Thandiswa Mazwai, Hope Mbhele and so many others.
Simphiwe is also among those celebrities known for tribal hairstyles. The award wining musician has made them her trademark, and part of her brand. Although these hairstyles has been around for decades, Simphiwe feel, she needs to be acknowledged. She singled out Nomzamo and the Shaka iLembe cast, as copycats.
“I’m now fed up with brand appropriating my style. The least you can do us acknowledge where you got the ideas from. I’m talking to you Shaka iLembe and Nomzamo Mbatha. The other sister I won’t mention. It started here. Appreciate, don’t, appropriate,” Simphiwe said.
