Over time the Ixtsonga, which is the traditional wear of the Tsonga people, has transformed in every way; from colour to prints, design and style. These Southern African people are known for their bright multi coloured attire.
Some of their popular prints include the xitsonga ixibelani, Motjeka, miceka. Women mostly adorn these attires with bangles.
Their full attire is made up of the doek (duku), the Neckpiece (vuhlalu – usually more than one), the shirt (yele), the stomach belt (nkhamu), the Queens (ti queeni), Miceka, and Xibelani.
As people from Africa and all around the world have advanced in fashion and style, the Tsonga people have not been left behind, as a lot of fashion designers have done wonders with these fabrics.Â
From everyday wear to wedding dresses, the Tsonga fabric has become an item that people in the region desire to have in their wardrobes.
