Hailing from Alexandra township in Johannesburg, Kgothatso John Malange is a design force to be reckoned with. After four attempts at the brief and sleepless nights, his lecturer Rene tells us that she has never met a more determined student. And his win was based purely on merit with the judges adjudicating on a completely anonymous entry basis. Having never left South Africa, Malange will be flown to the international design fair of his choice on an all expenses paid trip and be exposed to world’s greatest design minds. Announced before South Africa’s acclaimed design industry, his life, as him and his lecturer agree, has been changed forever and there is not a more deserving winner.
