South African media personality Unathi Nkayi was one of the stars spotted at the Maxhosa Kulture Festival.
Held on 21 March 2026 at the Toadbury Hall Country Hotel in Johannesburg, the event served as the official launch for MaXhosa's Autumn-Winter 2026 collection and featured a runway show, live performances and markets.
A proud Xhosa woman, Nkayi is famously known to wear the Laduma Ngxokolo-founded brand with sheer confidence, and did not disappoint, turning heads in a R26,500 Maxhosa knit dress that accentuated her athletic frame. However, it was the rare appearance of her son, Sinako Msengana, that truly stole the show.
The mother-son duo shared sweet moments captured on camera, showcasing a bond that fans found both heartwarming and stylish.

Sinako, who is also the son of legendary radio DJ Thomas "Bad Boy T" Msengana, wore the MV9 Varsity Jacket, valued at a whopping R19,000, paired with Nike trackpants and sneakers.
Footage from the event, posted on the 21-year-old's Instagram page, offered a rare look at the close bond between the mother and son, dancing and clinking glasses.
As they celebrated Xhosa culture together, fans were quick to point out that Sinako has inherited his mother’s natural charisma, effortless style and "stole her face." Now standing tall as a young man, he perfectly complemented Unathi’s radiant energy, making them the ultimate duo of the festival.
