We are pleased to welcome Lesotho-born, South Africa-raised fashion designer, Thabo Makhetha-Kwinana, as a guest on our channel’s podcast.

Thabo is well-renowned for her incredible designs, which are centred around her Basotho culture.

Suggesting that Lesotho could be mistaken for a South African city is weird & a bit embarrassing coming from an African person

I can never get bored of listening to talks like that! They are so meaningful and true!!

@sparklemotion8377

Do you know the documentary
MAMA BENZ AND THE TASTE OF MONEY
It's a must watch for every African.

@anabellepreis1920

Are you serious?? Importance of fashion when your politicians keep robbing every country on the continent, children having to work in cobalt mines in order to make pennies so they can afford to eat, Huge Crowds dancing screaming kill the farmer (same farmer that works from dusk till dawn on that farm) while some want everything for free.
There's more slaves in Africa now than there ever was during the transatlantic slave trade, when Africans were selling Africans to arans, who then sold them everywhere else!
And they're talking about fashion importance and black panther…. astounding!

@ginamitembe8935

Absolutely long overdue Africans🙆 The whole world has been&/continue to be enriched by our resources,our talents, our looted art, stolen inventions which are being credited to our colonisers,our nonsense resilient survivers for hundreds years at the hands of those who have benefited at our unimaginable cruiety and never ending sufferings!!!
WE MUST!!!!,its very imperative that this generation!!! at this time of complete wide open exposure to the long hidden truths about our importance on this planet (thanks to the technology 💯👍) be re-claimed, re-build our rich Continent's heritages for our people!!! Thanks for your platform may it rich all corners of our Continent,all diasporas but most importantly our minds and hearts!! 🙏💯👍
