South Africa Hip Hop has lost a great giant and pioneer who infiltrated spaces that made it possible for the current clothing brands that we have now to run. Wandi Nzimande, a DJ, businessman, and co-founder of Loxion Kulća took his last bow on the 13th of January, and the hip hop community now mourns the passing of the legend.

Pioneers often bear the brunt of enduring pitfalls that serve as lessons for those who follow in their footsteps. Wandi gave us the quintessential blueprint of building brands and businesses that narrate our stories as young, black creative Africans. pic.twitter.com/ItZLvtjLVR
