Bathu Honours Kwaito Icon Spikiri With A New Sneaker
Bathu, a South African footwear manufacturer, has collaborated with legendary kwaito star Mandla “Spikiri” Mofokeng following the debut of their current shoe line, Ndofaya.
The premier local footwear business is on a roll; less than a year after its most recent release, it has announced the debut of its current shoe line, which pays respect to the spirit of the Meadowlands community and celebrates tenacity, strength, and all the success anchored in the heart of Ndofa.
Bathu has collaborated with the musical icon Spikiri, better known as The King Don Father.
The cooperation aims to recognize him, his honesty, his musical journey, and his ability to remain loyal to himself, as well as his work and contributions to South African culture.
The brand held an intimate dinner in Houghton to celebrate Kwaito luminaries for their achievements as pioneers of Kwaito in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Bathu is a South African brand that honours the stories of people who have had a significant impact on our style and fashion through their music.
Trompies, an iconic Kwaito group, play at the Bathu banquet to celebrate legends.
Our latest sneaker edition, Ndofaya, seeks to honour these pioneers and SA’s legends for their invaluable contribution to our fibre and culture in South Africa, said Cedrick Diphoko, Bathu’s managing director.
The King Don Father’s voyage reflects the essence of Bathu’s Ndofaya line, and he felt pleased to be a part of the partnership.
The Ndofaya collection has a special place in my heart because it represents the tenacity and fortitude of the Meadowlands community.
It demonstrates the power of community and the ability to overcome obstacles. I believe the Ndofaya shoe will be a source of pride not only for Ndofaya, but for all South Africans, Spikiri stated.
