There's a Darkie in Soweto...

Darkie, the clothing brand recognizable by its afro-comb icon, will in March be opening its doors in Soweto’s Maponya Mall. This, according to messages disseminated to the brand’s Facebook group members.

Darkie was founded in Cape Town in 2000 by one Themba Mngomezulu, a former B-com student. Inspired by street culture the brand went on to supply ranges for YDE as well as Woolworths before opening flagship stores in Cape Town’s Kloof Street and 7th Street in Melville, Johannesburg.

Darkie has in the past been approached by soccer team Swallows to design the team’s kit, amongst other achievements.
