'I am platinum': Tebogo Ramokgadi channels Tswana royalty at Durban July
'The show looks at fashion and celebrities in South Africa. That's how we connected — both passionate about storytelling through style,' Tebogo said.
The rest of the look delivered pure fashion finesse: a crisp white shirt, flowing black trousers, and a regal black cape coat draped effortlessly over the shoulders. A black sinamay headpiece crowned the outfit — a nod to classic Durban July flamboyance with a high-fashion twist.
With bold red lips and a sleek low bun, Tebogo's confidence was matched only by his elegance. Tebogo isn't just here for fashion.
'I'll be attending more than four marquees, and I'm really looking forward to catching up with celebs and influencers. For me, it's also about networking and celebrating South African talent.'

One that got away? Khaya Mthethwa on 'losing great people'
Former Idols South Africa winner turned preacher Khaya Mthethwa has spoken about losing 'great people' as well as his 'painful' divorce from ex-wife, Ntando Kunene. The former Miss South Africa has reportedly married again this weekend. She is also expecting a baby from her current, unidentified partner. In 2019, Khaya and Ntando split after less than two years of marriage. Before dating the beauty queen, Khaya reportedly dated actresses Jessica Nkosi and Nomzamo Mbatha, at the same time! Unlike his ex, Ntando Kunene, Khaya Mthethwa has made it clear he has no intention to marry again. The former Idols SA singer, who is now a preacher at the Oasis Church in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal, told the congregation in a clip that has gone viral: 'The marriage train has left. I've lost too many great people. Now I'm attracting rubbish'. Since his split from Ntando, Khaya was rumoured to have dated Instagram influencers, Mathapelo Khoza and Siphosethu Nkosi, in recent months. Speaking in an interview in May, Khaya Mthethwa touched on his bitter divorce from Ntando Kunene. He told Podcast, Radio & Stuff: 'I think that it is the most painful thing I have ever gone through in my life. I don't wish divorce on anyone. In fact, I will never divorce again. In December 2017, Khaya Mthethwa married former Miss SA Ntando Kunene. At the time, the couple had dated for just three months. Two years later, the couple – who welcomed a son, Oyinkosi – announced their shock split in a vague statement. According to Khaya, the new marriage was fraught with 'challenges' that the couple could not overcome. While neither Ntando nor Khaya has ever mentioned those challenges, the latter has been accused of being unfaithful in the past. Last year, a clip of Khaya Mthethwa claiming he 'told God' he 'knew' he didn't want to be married, just a few months after his wedding, went viral. The clip was allegedly taken from Khaya's sermon at the Assemblies of God Church in Sandton. He said in the clip: 'When I said to God, I don't think I want to be married anymore. I told God that in January. I'm like, 'I think'. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
