A South African man became an unexpected model for his wife's handmade creations, and Mzansi could not get enough of it. On 12 July 2026, a TikTok video posted by @luziweofficial showed a husband proudly wearing a series of beaded ties crafted by his wife. The ties were no ordinary accessories. Each one was carefully constructed from beads in various colours and sizes, with some featuring personalised initials woven right into the design.
A husband who shows up
The husband wore each piece with confidence, giving viewers a proper look at the craftsmanship behind every tie. The collection ranged from bold multi-colour combinations to more refined styles, showing real range and skill. The beadwork itself drew serious attention. The precision involved in crafting wearable ties entirely from beads, complete with lettering and intricate colour patterns, impressed those who understand how time-consuming the craft can be.

A husband's ultimate act of service
The Briefly News team reached out to Nombuso and her supportive husband, Bonga Mayisane, to hear the story behind their beautiful beaded creations and their upcoming personal milestones.
"When we asked how much their handcrafted ties cost and where customers can order them, Bonga shared: “The ladies and gents beaded ties range from R150 to R500, and people can contact us on WhatsApp Business to place an order. We also have our catalogue: https://wa.me/c/27673416727”
We asked Bonga why he decided to step in and help create social media content for Nombuso's brand, and he explained:
“Being supportive is vital in marriage/relationship. It is a form of 'acts of service'; it is how I show my wife that I love and care about her business success. I noticed that my wife is really good at creating but super shy about making content for her business, so I took it upon myself to make content for her to complement her strengths.”
When asked about the time and dedication required to craft each piece, he revealed:
“Usually 1 to 3 hours depending on the design.”
Finally, when we asked what this newfound exposure means for their business, Bonga expressed:
“This is a great gift for us this year. We will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary on 28th October, and my wish was for her to succeed in her business.”
