BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe, May 17 (Xinhua) -- Nkanyeziyethu Malunga, a Zimbabwean designer and entrepreneur, uses natural products including Angora goat fur, leather and other materials to make fashionable clothing and textiles with the goal to preserve traditional knowledge.

Malunga is the founder and creative director of Ganu, a brand that advocates for the use of indigenous knowledge systems in modern textile and clothing production.

Her secret is the ability to apply the knowledge acquired from the elders and package it in an appealing way, especially to young people.

Her collections have been featured at the Durban Fashion Fair as well as the Mozambique Fashion Week.
