I was afraid of posting this because people cry “cultural appropriation”… I would like to offer an alternative conversation: I am learning about Zulu heritage and culture as an active and involved South African… And this is my celebration of Heritage Day – and maybe yes one day, this is how I will be dressed on my wedding day ❤

Nina added that she’s always had a keen interest in other cultures besides her own.

The TV personality believed that it was important for people to understand each other.

“We’ll see more progress as a country when we make an effort to learn and understand about each other cultures,” she said.

The presenter said she was glad that Zulu clothes and accessories were more available.

“I love the Zulu culture, as well as Tsonga, Pedi among other African cultures. Next year I might go into spaces that allow me to learn more about the Tsonga people, their culture, clothes and colours. I also figured if I, as a white person, can show other people that it is worth the effort to learn about African cultures, then why not?” she said.
