Last night, GQ Magazine with Jameson Select Reserve honoured South Africa's most stylish men.
Hosted by Pearl Thusi at the Potato Shed in Newtown, Johannesburg, the GQ Best Dressed Men 2017 awarded the top ten men with fearless character and an eye for fashion.
The top 10 winners included musician Anatii, Matthew Mensah, Tristan Du Plessis, Sylvester Chauke, Thato Mmmereki, Mthoko Makhathini, Siya Kolisi, Atish Jogi, Menzi Mchunu and Eric Kruger.
Menzi — actress Khanyi Mbau's younger brother who's a stylist and founder of Afrocentric Gentlemen — walked away with two awards; Man of Character Jameson and the number one spot of Best Dressed Man in South Africa. Thato Mahapa bagged the Best Dressed Reader title.
"I am different because I tend to ride against the wave. I've been pushing the African agenda for a long time, it's been rejected but now I'm glad we're finally getting the recognition", saidMenzi.
