Former captain Dane van Niekerk is in line for a return with South Africa after reversing her international retirement and being named in a World Cup training group.

Ghana has been described as the fashion industry’s dumping ground. Around 15 million second-hand garments arrive every week, making Ghana the world’s largest importer of used clothing. Many of the garments are re-sold and re-purposed at Kantamanto Market in the capital Accra. But estimates suggest that 40% of these garments are too damaged to be sold or upcycled, so much of it ends up as waste on Ghana’s beaches and lagoons.

Young people are working to solve the problem. One organisation trying to address the environmental impact of fast fashion is The Or Foundation. We attend a beach clean-up led by Joseph Shaw Ayesu, an ecological research manager, to find out how discarded garments end up on the beach. Then Sammy Oteng, a community engagement manager, explains why Ghana imports so much second-hand clothing in the first place. And finally Nutifafa “Fafa” Mensah gives us a tour of Kantamanto Market, where imported textiles are upcycled and re-purposed to extend their lifespan. Ruth, an upcycler, discusses the difficulties she faces working with bales filled with synthetic and severely worn textiles.

Adeju Thompson, the founder and creative director behind the Nigerian fashion label Lagos Space Programme, attempts to establish the label on the global fashion scene. Lagos Space Programme blends Yoruba heritage (notably Adire dyeing) with queer and futurist aesthetics, taking inspiration from Lou Reed, traditional Ife sculptures, and the photography of Rotimi Fani-Kayode and Robert Mapplethorpe. Thompson talks about his dedication to slow fashion, gender-fluid creations, and detailed artisan craftsmanship, blending traditional techniques with contemporary designs. Tayo Popoola follows Thompson to Paris where he unveils his collection, based on the idea of "rock'n'roll consciousness". We then join him at his studio in Surulere, Lagos where he discusses his new designs for 25/26.
