Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The new entrant in men\u2019s footwear, Shangu is sure to redefine the shoe experience by bringing together function, luxury, style and culture.<\/b><\/p>\n

At a launch of the first line last Friday, the brand\u2019s founder, Peace Mogale, said at the heart of Shangu – an iKalanga word for \u2018shoe\u2019 – was a dedication to impeccable style and unique design.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shoes are entirely hand-crafted, boasting of artisan brilliance and attention to detail. They are made with superior quality leather, promising not only aesthetic appeal, but also durability and comfort,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She related a story of how when COVID-19 first hit, she was stranded in China, running short of funds while chasing the Shangu dream, which has now become a reality.<\/p>\n

Mogale said arrangements are being made for the shoes to be available in stores across the country.<\/p>\n

Venture partner and communication manager, Lawrence Seretse said what set Shangu apart was that its design, which encapsulates and celebrates Botswana\u2019s culture and heritage.<\/p>\n

For instance, each pair is engraved with different indigenous words such as Loeto and Mosepele – signalling that the wearer is on a life journey in pursuit of their own goals.<\/p>\n

Calling the brand a COVID-19 baby, Seretse said Mogale had dedicated her time and talent to creating and perfecting the Shangu concept when the world was in the middle of a pandemic that had ironically limited movement.<\/p>\n

While the shoe collection is currently imported, the design work is done in-house and the plan is to eventually establish a manufacturing unit in Botswana.<\/p>\n

The shoes retail from P1 800, and already the creators are talking of expanding the brand range to include accessories such as belts and sunglasses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis brand is more than just footwear, but a statement.<\/p>\n

It is an invitation to walk in shoes that tell a story and echo the beauty of our diverse backgrounds,\u201d Seretse said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor every step you take, you are not only walking in comfort and style, but also carrying with you a piece of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

This is not just a footwear line; it is a redefinition of what footwear can be – a redefinition etched in culture, style, and brilliance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The guest speaker, Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency chief executive officer, Thabo Thamane, commended Mogale\u2019s visionary concept and her tenacity as an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

He praised the culture-infused concept of Shangu and stated that \u2018this is an era where women entrepreneurship needs more representation and support\u2019.<\/p>\n

Thamane pointed out that such businesswomen as Mogale were essential in breaking the glass ceiling that put a limit to women\u2019s pursuit of business aspirations.<\/p>\n

\u201cEntrepreneurs like Peace Mogale, who bring to the table not only business acumen, but also a profound respect for cultural heritage, should be supported and encouraged.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He encouraged Mogale to be persistent in pursuing her dream, saying the world\u2019s household brands started as small or medium enterprises.<\/p>\n

Thamane hoped to see Mogale utilise local resources such as leather in her planned manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n
