The Voice fashion columnists Gaone Mothibi and Tsholo Dikobe this week had an interview with CNN (Cable News Network).

Through the interview which is expected to air on CNN DSTV channel 401 in September 18th in the program AFRICAN VOICES, the two women who are considered as Botswana’s leading fashion artists had the opportunity to showcase their fashion work which includes innovative kobo mogagolwane designs, fashion styling and fashion journalism.

African VOICES highlights the continents’ most dazzling trendsetters and trail blazers who create their own sub-cultures in areas such as travel, fashion, music, technology and architecture and the platform has been instrumental in raising the profile of outstanding Africans and their impressive contributions to their countries, according to the artists.

“This CNN-GaTsh Fros interview acts as a conduit for us to brand a new Botswana where now the focus is in favor of raiment designs by local Botswana talent. It further shows our unique, impeccable gatshy fashions as a fashion duo and another side of us that is creative, non-conforming, unconventional and business savvy, through our talent,” said the artists.

“Truly, it is a humbling and a surreal feeling to be chosen, interviewed and profiled by a huge international news network, CNN, as one of Africa’s trail blazers and Botswana’s trendsetters. We will forever be humbled and honored to continue providing Africa, and our country with this platform that encourages a more proactive role and be a conduit or fashion ambassadors to the public in providing efficient and developed information in all fields of fashion and culture,” said the artists.

The artists added that it is truly a great feeling to be the voice of African Fashion and hold its identity in appearance, demeanor, values and ethics. “Moreover, it is with great pleasure to announce the appreciation and first class assistance we received on board from reputable stakeholders who made this interview run smoothly.”
