Crocheted With Heart: Inez Shaw hands over her winning Masikhuthazane jersey for the Mayor of Cape Town

At a special media preview evening ahead of Cape Town’s 2026 Festive Lights Switch-On, Stellenbosch fashion educator Inez Shaw handed over her winning *Wear the Hope* jersey design which is a handmade granny-square garment inspired by a craft her grandmother taught her at age four. Named *Masikhuthazane* (" let us encourage one another"), the winning jersey was crocheted square by square alongside her friends and colleagues, turning a childhood hobby into a shared celebration of community and craftsmanship.
