Pepkor Holdings Ltd. replaced the head of its Ackermans unit after Africa’s largest clothing retailer posted a drop in first-half earnings as it failed to get the right summer fashion mix.
The discount retailer, which started 100 years ago in rural South Africa and now has 5,929 stores in almost a dozen countries, has brought in “some new eyes from outside” to run the division as it also reconsiders package sizes of items such as T-shirts and shorts, Pieter Erasmus, chief executive officer of Cape Town-based Pepkor, said in an interview Tuesday.
Ackermans is facing intensifying competition from Shoprite Holdings Ltd., Africa’s largest grocer, which recently opened specialist clothing and baby stores — categories in which Pepkor’s flagship Pep and Ackermans outlets are active.
“There are some very good competitors out there,” Erasmus said, citing Pick n Pay Stores Ltd.’s clothing unit and Jet, which has better access to funds since it was purchased by The Foschini Group Ltd. The new Ackermans CEO was previously the chief operating officer at Pick n Pay, Erasmus said, without providing the person’s name.
Other changes at Ackermans include new appointments to its women’s clothing team, “because that’s a key market share opportunity for us,” Erasmus said. An improved performance is expected by the end of August and into the next summer, he said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Pepkor reported an 11% drop in net income to 2.98 billion rand ($151 million) in the six months through March. While revenue improved, inventory levels increased 12% as sales slowed at Pep and Ackermans, the company said in a statement.
The stock lost as much as 8.6% and was down 6.9% as of 11:50 a.m. in Johannesburg, its biggest intraday drop since Sept. 13. That brings its decline this year to 29% and makes it the worst performer on the eight-member FTSE/JSE Retailers Index.

ANSWER. A designer’s earnings are typically based on the number of years in the business, experience, expertise, region or location, size of the company, and job description. Because each person’s background and objectives are unique to them, we suggest to do your own research and due diligence. For example, compare salaries of local similar job descriptions and talk to those in the industry. Not all pay is equal and women, unfortunately, are paid less than their male counterpart.
The following are only averages within a range of salaries based on these sources. There are other sources of which data could be different.

- Germany, €66,716
- Hong Kong, HKD 446,494

The ex-soldier turned-artist is currently laying strategies to upgrade the Rwandan cultural troupe to represent Rwanda on the global scene through traditional music and dance.
In 2019, he was appointed as the technical director of the Rwandan cultural troupe Urukerereza. The job offered by the Ministry of Culture and Sports (MINISPOC) changed to the Ministry of Youth and Culture (MYCULTURE). During interviews with KT Press, Masamba said that he wanted to put in action from his family background to direct a Rwandan cultural troupe with all his experiences learnt from his father Athanase Sentore.

“Am now more concentrated on training Rwandan cultural troupe because I want it to elevate from where I found it musically, and I had to pause my projects for a while but am still a music recording artist,” Masamba told KT Press.
He added that the Rwandan cultural troupe represents the country’s culture and it needs to be perfect from all angles. Masamba’s music runs through blood as his late father Athanase Sentore, a composer, musician, and pioneer in teaching Rwandans in the Diaspora the traditional Kinyarwanda dance. Born in Bujumbura, Burundi, Massamba developed a keen ear for music and rhythm at a tender age.

As African fashion continues to blossom, these are some of the names to keep a close eye on in the months to come
Much of the buzz around African fashion today isn’t accidental. Africa’s design talent has been on the rise, as seen across the continent's staging of various fashion weeks. At the Spring/Summer ‘22 shows for South African Fashion Week, a new talent search had young designers like Mikhile du Plessis and Sanelisiwe Gcabashe showcasing worthy-of-note collections.
Lagos Fashion Week, too, with its talent discovery platform, Green Access, presented a roster of new designers to watch: from Ghana’s Meta Kay to Nigeria’s Oshobor and Pettre Taylor, and South Africa’s SVL Designs. These next-gen labels appear to have distinct philosophies towards the design process.
Whether it is experimenting with textures and prints, reviving traditional crafts and textiles, or operating within ethical techniques like upcycling, these new designers are charting their own path in the industry. While there are names that caught our attention in 2022, others have equally shown promise with off-calendar presentations or modest campaigns. In 2023, here are a handful of the designers we are excited to watch.
Munkus
Munkus @safashionweek
Last year, Thando Ntuli’s Munkus won the talent search competition at SA Fashion Week, after entering for the second time. As one of South Africa’s on-the-rise talents, the young designer founded her ready-to-wear label in 2019, inspired by the styling choices of the women in her family - her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
This intergenerational mashup has resulted in a whimsical play on vibrant colors, volume, and prints. Her winning collection titled “Sisendleleni” puts this on display, offering layered looks that can be assembled in different ways or worn alone. In the same year she won, the designer dedicated her Autumn/Winter ‘23 collection to her mother.
Along with shifting silhouettes to demonstrate the different roles women play in society, she sent a belted dress on the runway of Lagos Fashion Week bearing a bold print of her mother’s face. At the core of the Munkus brand is a storytelling informed by Ntuli's South African heritage, mixing contemporary approaches to define the adventurous woman.Vicnate
Victor Anate was still a teenager when he founded Vicnate, his womenswear brand based in Lagos. In no time, his sentimental attachment towards dressing women charmed a knitted circle of Nigerian stylists, fashion editors and commentators.
His early emphasis on butterfly bows, balloon dresses, pussy bows, slimming skirts, and cocktail dresses indicated the young designer was taking notes from classical Parisian style, and the forebearers that defined that era: Cristobal Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Elsa Schiaparelli.
And with each season’s collection, he updates his proposal around romance and sex, courting the clientele who dare to wear his designs. While his industry peers place femininity in a safer tunnel vision, Anate has his brand perched on riskier horizons.
Archetypal suiting and formalwear is broken down - think Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking - and built up into something slightly transgressive. In some instances, it’s just carnal, high-stakes glamour. One can’t help but think what the brand will look like for menswear, if it ever decides to go there.
Boyedoe
Model: @_modelmaya
With Ghana’s environmental crisis resulting from garment landfills, the country has birthed an eco-conscious mindset towards designing. One is emerging brand Boyedoe. Established in 2020, its creative director David Boye-Doe has an intentional stance against garment waste. Denim as an integral fabric in the brand’s DNA, sourced from discarded stock and repurposed into practical wear.
The Boyedoe aesthetic is at the intersection of sustainability, modern construction, and Afrocentric chic. The brand’s latest SS’23 collection – with a recurring theme in denim – offers utilitarian pieces, bold colors, and lush textures.
Graduating in 2019 from Ghana’s Joyce Ababio College of Creative Design as “Most Outstanding Student” and “Most Creative Student,” Boye-Doe has enjoyed domestic recognition. He was one of the winners of the Merck Fashion Award in 2019, and named first runner up in both the 2019 Vlisco Fashion Fund Ghana and the 2020 Accra Mall Future Fashion Fund. He also emerged as a one of the 30 finalists at the 2020 debut of the Arise 30 Under 30 New Stars.
Oba Style
Le sac Ola Diourbel
In the age of social media, Africa’s fashion accessory sector is picking up. And while shoes, handbags and jewelry are arguably often in the shadow of the main garment industry, more and more players are entering the market. This is where we introduce Oba Style, a handbag brand founded by Faoziyath Koza in 2019, and offers wardrobe versatility.
Based in Paris, Koza is Franco-Gabonese of Beninese origin, overseeing leather sourcing in African countries like Senegal. Handmade, Oba handbags come in clean geometric designs, rendered in mostly neutrals and subdued hues.
These purses shape-shift in size patterns, and textures. From dramatic colorways and ankara sheaths to clasps made from crystal and bronze beads, this emerging handbag brand is on our radar this year

In 2022, the European Commission unveiled a new strategy for sustainable textiles, aimed at coming up with more systemic solutions for improving the sustainability of the textile industry. The strategy also aligns with the European Green Deal, whose focus is to make growth sustainable, climate neutral, efficient regarding energy and resource, respectful of nature, and built around a clean and circular economy.
Given that the European Union (EU) is one of Africa’s top two export markets for textiles, its recent strategy on sustainable textiles has several implications for the African fashion industry. In this week’s article, we will explore the key takeaways from the EU strategy for textiles and the opportunities it presents for African fashion brands.
Background of the EU textile sector
The textiles sector is an important economic driver of the EU economy, with a turnover of EUR 162 billion, and employing over 1.5 million people in 160,000 companies. However, it also contributes significantly to environmental pollution with the fourth-highest impact on the environment after food, housing, and mobility. The EU has responded to the climate challenges posed by the sector, by adopting a new strategy for sustainable textiles whose vision is to ensure that;
“By 2030 textile products placed on the EU market are long-lived and recyclable, to a great extent made of recycled fibers, free of hazardous substances, and produced in respect of social rights and the environment.”

Key Actions under the Strategy
The vision will be accompanied by the following practical actions, intended to support the sustainable textiles drive.
Introducing mandatory eco-design requirements
The Commission will develop binding product-specific requirements to increase textiles’ performance in terms of durability, reusability, reparability, fiber-to-fiber recyclability, and mandatory recycled fiber content. Enactment of these requirements is aimed at minimizing and tracking the presence of substances of concern and reducing the adverse impacts on climate and the environment.
Banning the destruction of unsold or returned textiles
Large companies will be required to publicly disclose the number of products they discard and destroy, including textiles, and their further treatment in terms of preparing for reuse, recycling, and incineration or landfilling.
Tackling microplastic pollution
In addition to product design requirements, binding design requirements will be introduced under the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation. These will target various stages of manufacturing, through a set of reduction and prevention measures, as well as the promotion of innovative sustainable materials.
Introducing information requirements and a Digital Product Passport
The Digital Product Passport for textiles will be based on mandatory information requirements on circularity and other key environmental aspects.
Green claims for truly sustainable textiles
General environmental claims, such as “green”, “eco-friendly”, and “good for the environment”, will be allowed only if underpinned by recognized excellence in environmental performance, or voluntary sustainability labels based on a third-party verification or established by public authorities.
Extended producer responsibility and boosting reuse and recycling of textile waste
It will propose harmonized EU extended producer responsibility rules for textiles with eco-modulation of fees, to create an economy for collection, sorting, reuse, preparation for reuse, and recycling. Producers and brands will also be incentivized to ensure that their products are designed in respect of circularity principles.
Opportunities for African Fashion brands
Develop recycling industries that convert fashion and textile waste into garments for commercial export markets
The new EU regulations on increasing textile performance mean the quality of textiles exported to Africa will be higher and better suited to recycling and repurposing. African fashion brands, therefore, have a chance to increase their revenue, by adding more value to second-hand clothing and exporting it.
Standardization of sustainable products
With a mandatory requirement for validating “green” claims if a brand sells its products in Europe, the African fashion industry can seize this opportunity to come up with universally recognized sustainability standards in fashion production. Not only will this help in guarding against greenwashing claims, but it will increase the brand value of African fashion brands that are genuinely sustainable, by distinguishing them from those that are built on unsubstantiated, sustainability claims.
Lobbying for governments to invest in infrastructure for greening conventional textile industries
Because Europe is a major market for Africa’s fashion industry, its proposed regulations for sustainable textiles are an opportunity for African fashion brands to come together and lobby the government to channel investment towards infrastructure for circular textile clusters. This will speed the greening of conventional textile industries by introducing economies of scale for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the African fashion industries. Additionally, it will facilitate improved access to export markets.
Investing in sustainable textiles
To better exploit market opportunities in the EU, African fashion brands have an opportunity to invest in sustainable textiles such as regenerative fibers which ultimately help them design waste out of their production processes. Efforts in this area are already underway, with companies such as Pine Kazi manufacturing shoes from pineapple waste.
Increase employment through the promotion of local artisans
The EU drive for sustainable textiles is an opportunity for African fashion brands to promote local artisans in Africa, who are already engaged in sustainable production methods such as hand-weaving, natural dyeing, and embroidery. It presents a chance for them to sell their products in markets where the sustainability component of their products is recognized and rewarded.

Berabose Designs is one of the brands that made it as a finalist of the third edition of the Fashionomics Africa Contest. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which was part of the contest jury, expressed its delight in seeing a real increase in the quality of applications and noted that the three finalists are true testimonials of the bubbling textile scene on the African continent and the power that circular business models represent.
Berabose Designs has positioned itself at the forefront of the fashion technology revolution, by producing sustainable garments made by combining natural sustainable practices with 3D production modelling. In this week’s article we learn more about how Berabose Designs wowed the Fashionomics Africa Contest judges, through its unique business model, which is founded on sustainability, innovation, and inclusion.
About Berabose Designs
Berabose Designs is a Rwandan-based business founded by Elisabeth Berabose. It is focused on the production of innovative garments made from organic cotton, dyed with agricultural waste and plant-based dyes. Optimization of the fashion design process is a defining feature of how the sustainable brand operates. After successfully launching its ‘27’ collection, the brand recognized the need to meet unique consumer’s needs through custom clothing. However, traditional custom-made methods posed challenges such as multiple interactions, fittings, and fabric selection time, especially without proper infrastructure. In response to these problems, Berabose Designs developed a three-phased strategy that combines its expertise in 3D product modeling with cutting-edge technology. The process includes a digitized custom-making process that allows users to easily select fabric, style, color, and measurements online, and a digital fitting room where consumers can model their looks based on their body shape and measurements.

Development of this process was a leap of faith, in which Berabose took a chance on fashion technology which is practically non-existent, despite research that has shown its promise. Berabose Designs adopted use of fashion technologies that use algorithms to derive a shopper's 3D body shape using augmented reality to make personalized product recommendations. The technology adds value because it allows to measure its impact. It presents a higher conversion rate, average order value, and consumer loyalty, all of which increase Berabose Designs capacity for a bigger market. The brand’s digitization strategy has positioned Berabose as a pioneer for sustainable design solutions on the continent and globally.
“Fashion technology has the potential to revolutionize the industry, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this change.” - Elisabeth
In addition to the use of fashion technology, Berabose has adopted a number of sustainability practices in line with its ethos. For example, Berabose designs clothes with an average lifespan of three years – a move which is critical in reducing the environmental impact of the brand’s products. Furthermore, its use of organic dyes and cotton, ensures the biodegradability of the brand’s garments. Berabose has also implemented a program encouraging consumers to bring old clothing in for upcycling. These initiatives will help reduce the amount of clothing waste produced by approximately 30% over the next three years. The brand is also intentional about avoiding prints and patterns, so as to discourage trends and consequently fast fashion.

The cotton used in the production of Berabose’s designs is sourced from a cooperative in Tanzania. After sourcing, Berabose collaborates with local facilities in Rwanda for spinning and weaving. By working with local sustainable partners, they save gallons of water and reduce energy use. Additionally, they collaborate with Handspun Hope for the dyeing of the clothes, using plant-based dyes and agricultural waste to reduce the amount of water, energy, and chemicals used in the dyeing process. For packaging and distribution, Berabose has put in measures to reduce waste and carbon footprint. For instance, they offer a 10% discount for customers who return and reuse their delivery bags. In place of paper, the brand uses banana barks as clothing tags. Their distribution model is also based online, reducing the need for physical stores which contribute to greenhouse emissions.
Women’s empowerment is also at the heart of Berabose Designs. In fact, the brand’s ‘27’ collection honored the several women who influenced Elisabeth’s entrepreneurial journey, as each of the pieces was named after those honorable ladies.
27’ collection
“My empowerment journey was made possible thanks to the amazing women surrounding me. Friends, sisters, mentors and family members. Naming each piece of the ‘27’ collection after the women who’ve had a substantial influence in my life was my way to show them my appreciation for helping me becoming who I am today” - Elisabeth
As part of its inclusive employment strategy, the brand recruits and trains informal female workers. For the sewing process in particular, Berabose employs only women, with the aim of providing them with a steady income and financial security. This not only helps to promote gender equality and women’s economic empowerment within the community, but it also creates a sustainable system that benefits women and their dependents.
Raising awareness on the importance of sustainability in fashion
The brand also has a cocktail of sustainability initiatives aimed at increasing customers’ knowledge on sustainability. Through its social media platforms, Berabose educates consumers and encourages eco-friendly behaviors. They also provide information on how to take measurements to avoid commute time from their consumers, and textile waste due to misfits. They also created a slow fashion series to inform consumers about fast fashion's environmental and social consequences and tips to avoid them. Some of their posts are dedicated to mixing and matching items to help consumers realize different looks.

About being a finalist of the Fashionomics Africa Contest
Berabose Designs was elated to have been part of the finalists for the Fashionomics Africa Contest. Making it to the finals of the competition has helped to validate their efforts and reflected the value of the work that the brand is doing.
"Being a finalist in the Fashionomics Africa contest is not only an honor for Berabose Designs, but also a testament to our commitment to promoting African fashion to a global audience. We are grateful for this opportunity to showcase our team’s work, share our journey and vision for sustainable fashion with the world." - Elisabeth
The Fashionomics Africa Contest awards the finalists with a package of prizes that includes a branding kit, promotion actions to gain visibility as well as mentorship and networking opportunities to facilitate business growth.
Overall, Berabose's sustainable business model focuses on reducing the environmental impact of their products through sustainable sourcing, upcycling, biodegradability, and encouraging eco-friendly behaviors. They also focus on innovation, particularly technology utilization, which positions them as a pioneer for sustainable design solutions.
