The clothing line was launched under the brands Super Shabba and Princess Bokang.
The launch was held at Clearwater Mall in Johannesburg. Children between the ages of 2 and 10 modelled the adorable clothes to a warm applause and encouraging crowd. What makes the range refreshingly different is the iconography on the clothing. It features local stars as well as Super Shabba and Princess Bokang.

“Currently available on our shelves are heroes and princesses that look nothing like an African child. We created these brands because we want to show our children that they, too, can be heroes or princesses. They can embrace their Africanness and shine just as brightly as the heroes and princess in other fairy tales. We need to remind them that embracing who you are is beautiful, and that all shades of black are beautiful,” Bokang explains.
You can find the range at sbkids.co.za, and at Mamma Magic from 1 to 3 December. A pop-up store is also available at Clearwater from December until January 2018.
