Indlu yefashoni yobunewunewu, iMaXhosa Africa, esekwe ngumhlohli odumileyo wehlabathi uLaduma Ngxokolo, iyaqhubeka nokwanda kwayo okucokisekileyo apha ekhaya nakumazwe angaphandle. Le bhrandi ibhiyozelwayo, eyaziwa ngezambatho zayo zokuluka eziphefumlelwe sisiXhosa kunye nokutolika okutsha kwelifa lesiAfrika, iye yasibonisa ngokusemthethweni ukufika kwayo eMonti ngokuvulwa kwevenkile entsha eHemingways Mall.
Ivenkile le, ibhalwe ngomfanekiso odonsa amehlo othi “MOLWENI E’MONTI” (okuthetha ukuthi “Molweni eMonti”), ibonisa ukubuyela ekhaya okunobugagu komyili wefashoni ozalelwe eMpuma Koloni. Le venkile intsha yeyona nto ibalulekileyo kwibhrandi — izisa iMaXhosa ngoku kubuyela kwingcambu zayo zenkcubeko ngelixa isandisa ubukho bayo obukhulayo kwilizwe lonke.
Ukubuyela Ekhaya Kwebhrandi Yehlabathi
Isekwe ngonyaka ka-2010, iMaXhosa Africa ikhule kwiqela lezambatho zokuluka ezinqabileyo ukuze ibe yilebhile yobunewunewu ekwaziwa kwihlabathi liphela, ibhiyozelwa ngokudibanisa ubuhle bemihlobo yesiXhosa kunye noyilo lwanamhlanje. ULaduma Ngxokolo, osuka eMpuma Koloni, uhlala eluncoma unothanda nenzobuko yephondo njengokuphefumlela kwakhe. Ukuvulwa kwevenkile entsha yaseMonti eHemingways Mall akubonakalisi nje ukwanda kweshishini kodwa ikwangumqondiso wokuzisa ubunewunewu besizwe saseAfrika obukumgangatho wehlabathi kweli phondo lazalela isazisi sale bhrandi. Ivenkile izakubonisa iingqokelela zamva zeMaXhosa zamadoda nabafazi, izinto zokuhombisa ikhaya, nezixhobo zokunxiba.
Ukwanda Kwasekhaya: Ukusuka eSandton ukuya Elunxwemeni
Kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo, iMaXhosa iye yalomeleza ubukho bayo bentengiso eMzantsi Afrika ngezikhundla ezitsha ezinobuchule. NgoSeptemba 2024, le bhrandi yatyhila ivenkile yayo ephambili eSandton City Mall, eRhawutini, ekubhiyozelweni kweNyanga yeLifa – ixesha elifanelekileyo lebhrandi ekhuthaza ilifa lesiAfrika ngefashoni.
Ezinye iivenkile zeMaXhosa Africa ezimiselweyo zifumaneka apha:
- Mall of Africa (Midrand)
- V&A Waterfront (eKapa)
- OR Tambo International Airport Duty-Free Zone (eRhawutini)
Ezi venkile ziye zayenza yaqina indawo yale bhrandi kwimeko yentengiso yobunewunewu eMzantsi Afrika, ibeka iMaXhosa ecaleni kwabayili befashoni abaphambili behlabathi.
Ukufikelela Kwihlabathi: IMaXhosa Iya Kwamazwe Ngamazwe
Ngaphandle kwemida yoMzantsi Afrika, iMaXhosa Africa iye yatsho elubala kwinqanaba lehlabathi ngezicwangciso zokwanda kumazwe ngamazwe. Ekuqaleni kuka-2024, le bhrandi yavula ivenkile yayo yokuqala “ye-pop-up” eSoHo, eSixekweni saseNew York, inika abathengi bamanye amazwe ithuba lokufumana izinto zayo eziyintloko. Oku kulandelwe kukuthatha inxaxheba kwe bhrandi kwiVeki yeFashoni yaseParis, apho iMaXhosa yabonisa ingqokelela yayo yamva kubaphulaphuli behlabathi — iqinisa indawo yayo phakathi kweendlu zefashoni zobunewunewu zangoku. Umbono kaNgxokolo wexesha elide kukuthi “yakhe amava obunewunewu esiAfrika kwihlabathi jikelele athwala iDNA yoMzantsi Afrika ngekratshi ehlabathini.”
Yintoni Elandelayo NgeMaXhosa Africa
Nangona umhla wokuvulwa ngokusemthethweni kwevenkile yaseMonti ungakhange ubhengezwe okwangoku, uphawu lwe-brand ngaphakathi kweHemingways Mall luqinisekisa ukuba amalungiselelo ahamba kakuhle. Xa sele ivuliwe, ivenkile izakusebenzela abathengi kwiBuffalo City Metro nakwiidolophu eziyingqongileyo — inika abahlali beMpuma Koloni ithuba lokufumana ngokuthe ngqo ibhrandi ebebakwimele kwinqanaba lehlabathi. Njengoko iMaXhosa iqhubeka nokuvula iingcango ezintsha apha ekhaya nakumazwe ngamazwe, ibali layo lihlala lingumzekelo oqaqambileyo wokuba ubuchule kunye nokuqala amashishini esiAfrika bunokukhuphisana njani kwinqanaba lobunewunewu behlabathi — ngaphandle kokuphulukana nesiseko senkcubeko yabo.
