KZN entrepreneur chats about her controversial #MakotiBootCamp

Loading player...
As part of her business, 'Silo Brides', which hires and sells traditional wedding outfits for brides-to-be of different cultures, Londiwe has recently launched an extension of this which she calls the #MakotiBootCamp.

#MakotiBootCamp has been gaining a lot of media attention which ordinarily would be great for a local business and entrepreneur, but some of the attention has been with regards to why a boot camp is necessary for a bride-to-be. Some people have also questioned whether this boot camp is sexist.

When Stacey and JSbu first saw the #MakotiBootCamp poster, they were intrigued and curious. JSbu immediately questioned whether Londiwe and her team would also be running a #MkwenyanaBootcamp, which would be for grooms.
