ETHEKWINI Municipality Durban Fashion Fair’s (DFF) Sindi Shangase, who spearheads this annual event, expressed on behalf of the DFF team profound sorrow and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Xola Ndlovu, who recently died from pneumonia.
Xola hailed from Eshowe and relocated to Durban to join the Durban Fashion Fair “family” in 2015 as one of the 10 male ‘new faces’. He was selected to participate in the annual model bootcamp training programme for undiscovered talent within the greater eThekwini Municipality area. After his graduation from the 2015 DFF model bootcamp, he was snapped up by leading modelling agency, Ice Models.

Since then, not only has he graced the DFF catwalk every year, but he has also walked and modelled in the SA Menswear Week, Vodacom Durban July and the Durban University of Technology (DUT) fashion shows. Ndlovu also established himself as a leading catalogue model.
“Ndlovu will be remembered by the DFF team for his charm, ready smile, sense of humour, his engaging personality and the way in which he was always prepared to go the extra mile. May I extend, on behalf of the DFF team, our heartfelt condolences and deep sorrow to the bereaved family, and his friends, may his soul rest in peace,” said Sindi.
