This morning we spoke with three guests from Site C
Khayelitsha who created their own brand called Afrka Way. The three creators
are lifelong friends from childhood and are proud to represent their hometown.
Their brand, Afrka Way, makes all kinds of clothing. They wanted
the word, Africa in their name so that anyone wearing a piece of clothing from
their brand would feel Africa within them when they wear it. Because the brand
began within the last year, funding is still low. Despite low funds, our guests
say that they continue with their brand for the love of it.
On the side, two of our guests create music as well. They
work individually because they each have their own style and sound. We
witnessed them ride a live beat in studio and also learned that they write
poetry.
Afrka Way will showcase their brand at the Extravaganza
event on the 4th of November. In the meantime, you can follow the
brand on social media:
