The initiative plans to embark on an international roadshow to Europe and the United States in October, offering a unique experience only offered in Africa. The experience will include African art forms, including fashion, storytelling and music. The roadshow will be highlighted by African flavours prepared by chef Mabaso and Langa’s artwork which offers his signature medium of using smoke on various mediums.

“Africa is unfailingly perceived in a certain manner that strays significantly from our true narrative. By portraying the real beauty of Africa, this initiative aims to change the prevailing perception,” said Mabaso.

Models stride down the catwalk.

“We are extremely proud to have been associated with an initiative of this calibre and to be able to play a role in promoting African culture,” says Steven Louw, CEO of Steyn City Properties.
