Oridile Twala, a 22-year-old designer from Pretoria, has won the AmaZulu 2025/26 kit design competition.
His concept celebrates Zulu culture, incorporating key elements like the spear tip and the Umqhele headgear.
Twala recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from the University of Johannesburg and sees fashion as a way to showcase his graphic design talents.
The competition was held in partnership with Durban-based Primo Clothing, who will now offer Twala a clothing design internship.
AmaZulu club owner Sandile Zungu praised the design and encouraged Twala to take pride in his achievement.
Twala hopes this win will open doors for new collaborations and help establish his name in the creative industry.

The Department of Basic Education says schools are becoming more inclusive for children with disabilities.
Over 67,000 learners with disabilities have been placed in ordinary public schools across the country.
To support them, more than 259,000 teachers have been trained in areas like Braille and sign language.
Most special schools now have ICT equipment and accessible learning materials in place.
A national task team is helping to identify and place out-of-school learners.
The department is also improving scholar transport and upgrading infrastructure.
Officials say the goal is to ensure every learner can thrive in a safe and supportive environment.

Australia will ban children under 16 from creating accounts on YouTube and major social media platforms starting 10 December.
The move, announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, aims to protect young people from harmful content and “predatory algorithms.”
This extends a previously planned ban on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and X to include YouTube, despite the company saying it is a video platform, not social media.
The strict law carries heavy fines for non-compliance but details on enforcement remain unclear, raising concerns among experts and industry leaders.
