Puma South Africa also shared the same video on its official IG page with the caption: “SHANDU is an ode to family and community. Introducing PUMA x Nomzamo SHANDU Collection. Available 12.03.2021 #SheMovesUs #PUMAxNomzamo.”

Meanwhile, Nomzmo Mbatha started her journey with PUMA in 2016 during the brand’s “Do You” campaign along with other women to inspire confidence in women across the continent. “I think we are definitely living in a time where women are taking back their identity,” the actress said in a statement when she was announced as the local ambassador. “We’re taking back the narrative of feminism and we’re saying, ‘I’m going to do me.’ The only way to ‘DO YOU’ is to be you.”
