The brand MAXHOSA BY LADUMA has become the nation’s pride and joy and is consistently breaking new ground for upcoming designers. The South African knitwear brand founded in 2012 by Laduma Ngxokolo recently announced that its incredible designs would adorn the characters of the upcoming Coming 2 America movie.
The movie, set in a fictitious and extravagant royal country of Zamunda, stars newly crowned King Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and his trusted confidante Semmi (Arsenio Hall).
The film also stars a familiar local face we all love, Nomzamo Mbatha who recently joined Sizwe Dlomo on Kaya Drive to share her Hollywood journey. It was announced that Nomzamo was cast in the movie in August last year, however very little was mentioned about her character.
In the continuation of the story, the two (Murphy and Hall) embark on an all-new hilarious adventure that takes them from their great African nation to Queens in New York, where everything began.

“My team and I enjoyed every minute of working on this project, we were especially delighted to see our pieces on our very own @nomzamo_m and several acts we grew up dreaming of meeting,”
