The GOOD Party calls on the government to immediately remove all pre-qualification barriers to accessing the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant. In a society plagued by staggering unemployment, stagnant wages, and deepening inequality, social assistance must be designed to reach people quickly, not to exclude them through bureaucratic red tape.

African designers are making a stronger presence on international runways, reflecting the continent's dynamic and fast-growing fashion scene. This year, the global Fashion Week calendar began in Moscow, and African countries eagerly participated in the event. Moscow Fashion Week (https://MoscowFashion.ru/), held in early September, surpassed expectations, attracting global attention and showcasing talent from all over the world.
Designers from 13 countries converged on Moscow for the event. Among them was David Tlale, the acclaimed couturier from South Africa. A familiar face on Russian runways, David Tlale has showcased his collections in Moscow before. This season, he aims to tell the world an authentic story of Africa through his designs.
“Each collection narrates African stories in sophisticated yet powerful tones, connecting past traditions with modern fashion innovation,” says David Tlale.
Already an established designer, David Tlale has presented his creations at New York, Paris, Shanghai, and Dubai Fashion Weeks. This year, he chose Moscow to debut his new collection.
“The collection celebrates the modern working woman – confident, elegant, and effortlessly versatile. Designed for seamless transitions, she moves from the office to high tea, and on to an evening cocktail party with grace. She embodies refined sophistication in every setting,” explains David Tlale.
Russian brands are also gaining momentum in Africa. Designers like Solangel participated in South Africa's Soweto Fashion Week in 2024, while Darya Kipriyanova presented her collection at Hub of Africa Fashion Week in 2025. Strong ties between Africa and Russia extend across industries, including culture and fashion, reflecting a growing exchange of ideas and inspiration.
Alongside Moscow Fashion Week, the BRICS+ Fashion Summit (https://FashionSummit.org/) recently unfolded in the Russian capital. The event brought together delegations from full BRICS members South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia, as well as representatives from other countries. Among the African attendees were Mmantlha Sankoloba, CEO of the Botswana Exporters and Manufacturers Association (Botswana); Nana Tamakloe, CEO of Accra Fashion Week (Ghana); Kalistu Ramos Mukoroli, Director of MTC Windhoek Fashion Week (Namibia); and Brian James Kihindas, Director of Kenya Fashion Council and Nairobi Fashion Week (Kenya). The Summit offered African industry leaders a unique stage to exchange expertise with European, American, and Russian counterparts.
“My expectations center around deepening global collaboration, especially between African fashion ecosystems and emerging markets,” notes Brian James Kihindas. “I'm particularly keen on exploring strategic partnerships that can lead to more inclusive and equitable fashion systems, where African creatives and artisans are not only celebrated but actively integrated into global value chains.”
African fashion in Moscow always captivates the audience. Authentic, bold, and vibrant, it tells the rich stories and traditions of its nations with color, texture, and emotion. For Africa, Moscow Fashion Week is more than an event – it is a gateway to international recognition, fostering cultural exchange and opening doors to global fashion markets.

More than 30 homes torched or vandalised as criminals target community leaders and witnesses in a suspected campaign of intimidation
The South African Government unequivocally condemns the illegal and unprovoked attack carried out by the Israeli Defence Force in Doha, Qatar, which targeted a civilian building in a residential area, which purportedly housed members of the Political Bureau of Hamas.
This attack on Qatari territory constitutes a blatant violation of international law, breaching the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, while also compromising the safeguarding of civilians as outlined in the United Nations Charter and international humanitarian law.
This flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state of Qatar comes against the background of the Government of Qatar playing a prominent role as facilitator to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages held by Hamas.
South Africa extends its support to His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and the Government of the State of Qatar.
The Government of South Africa calls for an immediate ceasefire in Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people, as well as to cease its military actions so that negotiations to a just peace can commence.
