Mzega Fashion Week 2025 brings youthful energy and style to Khutsong

The streets of Khutsong South came alive with colour, culture, and creativity as the Mzega Fashion Week took centre stage on Youth Day, transforming the Italian Carwash venue into a vibrant fashion runway and entertainment hotspot.
The event attracted fashion lovers, local designers, and young models eager to showcase their talents and celebrate township creativity. The runway exploded with bold fashion statements, streetwear collections, and unique designs, all reflecting the identity and spirit of today's youth.
Music, style & township culture
Mzega Fashion Week wasn't just about fashion—it was a full-blown cultural experience. An exciting mix of local rappers and DJs, including the popular DJ Cazz, lit up the crowd with powerful beats and performances that had attendees dancing well into the evening.
A platform for youth empowerment
Organisers Thabang Moon and Cloudy Raphela described the event as more than a showcase—it was a movement of youth empowerment through fashion and art.
'It was all about giving the youth a platform to shine and express themselves,' said Thabang Moon.
Despite facing challenges, the organisers pushed forward and thanked attendees in an emotional message:
'Your presence meant the world to us. The love and energy were palpable. God really does listen—give Him time.'
A celebration of township talent
Mzega Fashion Week 2025 proved that local fashion events in South Africa can be powerful tools for social connection, self-expression, and community pride. From the stylish outfits to the high-energy performances, this event showed what's possible when young people are given a stage to tell their story.

Sinner the singer: Tennis star releases duet with Andrea Bocelli

Tennis star Jannik Sinner has turned his hand to music, releasing a duet with the renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. The song, 'Polvere e Gloria' (Dust And Glory), features three-time Grand Slam champion Sinner, not singing but repeating parts of his winning and losing speeches, which he recorded at Bocelli's studio in Tuscany. 'I am very happy and honoured to be part of this project with Andrea, who for 30 years has been a unique and extraordinary voice, a flag for our country in the rest of the world,' said world number one Sinner. 'I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs. It's extremely moving.' Jannik Sinner won the US Open in 2024 and the Australian Open in 2024 and 2025, among 19 ATP titles. He finished runner-up in the French Open on clay at Roland Garros this month. The track features both Italian and English lyrics. Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.

The video features personal and archive images from the duo's childhoods, along with scenes filmed as they collaborated at Bocelli's estate. While Andrea Bocelli, 66, has performed at major events including the Olympic Games and the World Cup, Sinner is the first Italian to top either the men's or women's singles world rankings in tennis. His image as a national hero in Italy, however, was tarnished by a high-profile doping scandal involving accidental contamination, which, after a lengthy series of events, earned him a three-month suspension between February and May. Since his return, Sinner, 23, has reached the finals of the Masters 1000 in Rome and the French Open, losing both times to his great rival Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. On Thursday, he was defeated in the second round of the grass-court tournament in Halle, Germany, by Kazakh Alexander Bublik, ranked 45th in the world.
