Top honour for Nandi Mngoma

Nandi Mngoma has changed the game, y’all. And no, that’s not just our opinion, it seems. The singer, who recently dropped her Dance single with Zakes Bantwini, will be recognised for being a trendsetter, influencer and a leader of pop culture.

Wow! She shared the great news on Instagram, where she wrote: “All I ever wanted to achieve amongst other things.. Is for African young ladies and grown women to embrace who they are aesthetically and internally. To pride themselves of their continent, whether it be natural hair, their skin etc. and essentially love who they are.”

And boy, did she change the game. Her ‘natural hair movement’ has been joined by many young South Africans. Some of her fans have also told her that she’s been a great inspiration to them.

Nandi added on Instagram: “Never in a million years would I think I would be getting honoured for this. I’d like to acknowledge those who came before me who had been preaching the same thing! This is for every girl who loves her hair being natural now, who loves the skin she was born with, who strives to be M.A.D (to Make A Difference). YOU ARE ALL QUEENS! Wear your crowns and smiles with pride. And THANK YOU for supporting me! Stay Mnandi, much love Nandi.”

Well done, Nandi. We’re so happy for you.
