Monkey Shoulder kicks off career-making contest for fashion rebels
This May, Monkey Shoulder swapped barrels for boldness as the official pouring partner for Soweto Fashion Week (SFW) Autumn/Winter 2025 — and true to form, the premium whisky brand didn't just pour; it performed. Think cocktails with character, streetwear with swagger, and a stylish new showdown that turned heads and timelines.
Hosted over four days at the iconic Soweto Theatre, SFW showcased the sartorial skills of 35 emerging and established local designers as they presented their latest collections.
In the Monkey Shoulder VIP lounge, whisky wasn't the only thing served. The space came alive with a bold mural by 2024 Brushstroke Battle winner George Mars, curated to reflect the SFW theme, 'Uncharted Creativity', with a riot of colour and cultural influences. It quickly became the go-to content spot for stylists, influencers and industry insiders.

Celebration of activist and artist Molefe Pheto
LONDON - The "Molefe Pheto at 90 Celebration" will be held at the Soweto Theatre. It will be in honour of the musician, teacher, poet, novelist and activist in the Black Consciousness Movement. Pheto became a political prisoner under the 1963 Terrorism Act and was held at the notorious John Vorster Square Police Station in Johannesburg. He left the country in 1977 after the murder of Steve Biko by the apartheid police, making Britain his home in exile. Pheto's memoir was banned under apartheid but was released in 1983 by a London publisher. Professor Eugene Skeef, artistic director of the "Molefe Pheto @90 Celebration" and fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, had a discussion with eNCA on this upcoming celebration.
