Christian Mbombo: The Fine Bush

CHRISTIAN MBOMBO / THE FINE BUSH

My name is Christian Mbombo, I’m from the Democratic Republic of Congo from a family of 5 siblings, with me being the middle child and the black sheep of the family. I always wanted to do things differently, that’s why I’m a changemaker who brings awareness through my brand. I am a very bubbly person and I’m full of confidence and like communicating and meeting new people, and I’m very sociable and very curious to learn new things. I’m also curious about nature and love being around positive energy.

Unlike Democratic Republic of Congo, Southern Africa has more opportunities towards so many things, including the education. South Africa is also a diverse country full of different cultures and less of a struggle than Democratic Republic of Congo.

I joined Amava Oluntu, a Non Profit Company here in South Africa, Cape Town there was a program called Pollinating Pride in People and through that I got inspired to become the nature lover that I am today. I discovered the love for fynbos and through research about the fynbos I came up with a brand called “The Fine Bush”. I print t-shirts, hoodies, and handbags to sustain my creative work and for other people to get an experience of wearing my brand that brings awareness to people about fynbos.

Every year we get a huge number of fynbos becoming extinct and this brands purpose is to create awareness and also to introduce fynbos to all the individuals out there who lack knowledge about the importance of fynbos and how lucky we are to have it. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram.
