Thebe Magugu, a South African fashion designer took to Twitter to announce their new a fabric that is able to kill 99% of all viruses including the Covid 19 virus. The post read, “I am so proud of this fabric we developed, not only because it kills 99% of all viruses that land on its surface (tested with covid19) but because it has entirely been produced in South Africa.

Thebe Magugu is a luxury South African fashion brand. It offers ready-to-wear collections while exploring parallel concepts through multidisciplinary capsule projects. Between pillar practices of cultural honour, novelty and uncompromising quality, it is establishing an identity marked by self-evolving timelessness. It constantly seeks new ways of presenting women & men with clothing that embraces and enhances their everyday experience. Sleek, forward-looking design intersects with motifs & details that draw from the continent’s storied past, complex present and exciting imagined futures, providing smart, multifaceted clothes that mirror the inspiring qualities of the people they are made for.
The designer was born in the small town of Kimberley in 1993, one year prior to the abolishment of the oppressive apartheid regime. For nearly five decades prior, South Africa was run by a white supremacist minority which created a system of governance based entirely on racial segregation.
Today, South Africa’s rich cultural landscape is driven by the Born Free generation, which came of age in an integrated democracy after the apartheid system was dismantled in 1994. Magugu is emerging as a leading figure of this cultural renaissance, a position bolstered not just by his unique vision of design, but also by his belief in amplifying the voices of his peers. With the launch of his annual print publication, Faculty Press, Magugu is harnessing this newfound access to industry shapers and gatekeepers for his community as much as for himself.
