Description : Soweto is no longer a place of pain, people today are proud to declare; I LOVE SSOWETO. Mangi Mbitshana (31yr) is a co-owner of Thesis brand and concept store located in Mofolo, Soweto. Thesis produces its very own line of clothing. Having opened their store on the 16 June 2007, a historical day, it has cemented itself as part of the new designer youth culture in Soweto and Johannesburg as a whole. Magazines by local publishers and music cdÕs can be found there along with local Social Jam Sessions. These sessions are about mixing, mingling, networking and showcasing musical and poetic talent whilst, of course, shopping. The store itself is a platform for other local brands to show their proudly South African styles. They also supports and promotes works of local publications and musicians.
