A parade of style and elegance
Among the notable figures was Nomvula Mokonyane, also known as “Mama Action”.

Her bold choice of colour and confident demeanour exemplified her nickname, capturing the attention of onlookers and photographers alike.
Adding to the glamour was King Mswati III’s wife, who turned heads in a regal, diamond-encrusted pink caped dress. Her dramatic yet classy hat perfectly complemented her outfit, adding a touch of aristocratic flair.
Standing by her side, King Mswati III opted for a more subdued navy blue suit, allowing his wife’s fashion-forward ensemble to shine.
King Letsie III’s wife also dazzled the crowd in a royal blue dress that exuded simplicity and class. Her flowy attire was beautifully matched with a blue straw-like hat, creating a harmonious and elegant look that drew admiration from attendees.
King Misuzulu KaZwelithini’s wife chose a modest yet chic emerald green mermaid-like dress adorned with sequin flowers and a dramatic frill on the right shoulder.
Her ensemble was beautifully accessorised with a fur scarf and a sequin emerald green headwrap, presenting a picture of understated elegance and sophistication.
ANC national executive committee member Malusi Gigaba, known for his sartorial flair, looked dapper in his tailored brown suit with a beige overcoat to add to his charm. Accompanying him was his wife, who wore a cream-white ensemble featuring a stylish cape and matching hat.
