According to Sonwabile Ndamase, the founder of the Vukani Annual Fashion Awards, the African Pride Award is given to someone who epitomises African excellence, whether it is a way the person dresses, or in a particular field.
The recipients of the award should have a local and international influence on the public, and be role models to the youth.
