THE FUSE

At this year’s Cape Town Met, a day usually filled with glamorous hats, sharp suits, and cheerful races, South African actor and media personality Siv Ngesi turned heads not just for his style but for the deep message woven into it. Rather than simply choosing an eye-catching look, he wore an outfit that honoured victims of gender-based violence. This was fashion with purpose, a reminder that beneath the pageantry lies a society grappling with a very real crisis that touches too many lives.
