Monkeybiz, with its focus on empowering local women through traditional beadwork, perfectly complements Bos Ice Tea's mission to share the African spirit globally.

"The significance of partnering with a company like Bos lies in its stature as a well-established local Cape Town brand. Bos shares a parallel ethos with Monkeybiz, characterized by vibrant and dynamic aesthetics, innovative designs, and a commitment to fostering positive change," says Esther Filiba, general manager at Monkeybiz.

This collaborative effort came to life in Bos's recent campaign with Siya Kolisi, adding layers of cultural significance and social impact.
