In a separate interview, Models Association of Malawi President Chris Kunda described Thindwa participation as a milestone for Malawi modeling industry.

"This is a great milestone in as far as growing our modeling industry is concerned in Malawi. Swahili Fashion Week is one of the biggest fashion weeks in Africa and her participation opens more doors to other local models. This is a great way of exporting Malawian Talent," Kunda highlighted.

"Naomi campbell became the first black model to be on French Vogue Magazine cover and she always fight for younger models to speak out and stand their ground.
