On Tuesday the 28th
of August 2018, the Morning Cruise hosted three students from the University of
the Western Cape today.
The students who came
through to the studio for the interview to promote their project/event, as well
as encourage people to come witness South Africa’s fresh, raw talent that will

The event, which is a
fashion festival will be taking place the 1st of September 2018, at
the University’s main building in Belleville.
The students from the
University, who are all currently studying at the university organised the
fashion festival, the first ever of its kind to ever be hosted by the University.
They could not hold in their excitement and passion for the project as they
spoke about it.
The project is in
collaboration with the South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU).
The most exciting note
was how the students organising and participating in the festival are all from
various fields of study at the university. We are truly amazed at how these
young persons, have come together to showcase their talent as well as to
promote South African clothing, accessories and designs, not forgetting young
business minds.

The idea of the
festival came to be, in light of the campaign by Sactu to support South African
Clothing and South African Clothing manufacturers who are closing down a lot of
their factories due to the losses they make when their products do not sell.
This in turn causes a lot of job losses.
The students said that
aim of the Fashion Festival is to encourage South Africans to choose and
support the South African textile or clothing industry.
All the money raised
from the Festival will be donated to the university’s Ikamvalethu fund, a fund
that was put in place to assist students from disadvantaged backgrounds
financially.
Tickets are available
at the admin building at the UWC main campus in Belleville, or you can contact
