“I was inspired by the movie — Qiniso — which I watched recently. The concept seeks to revive Bulawayo and capture some of its terrorising moments that still linger in people’s memories in a lighter way,” she said. Maliki will do this in collaboration with Sibongile Ndebele.
She has taken part in a plethora of fashion shows since 2013, such as Miss Earth and Matabeleland Fashion Week, among others.
The story of Jane the Ghost was popular in Bulawayo in the late 1980s. According to legend, Jane was one of the most controversial characters who frequented night clubs and shebeens in Bulawayo and was seen in the high-density suburbs of Number 6, Mpopoma and Old Magwegwe.
She would lure men only to disappear mysteriously when they reached a cemetery.
The lady was said to be wearing trendy fashion, which made her attractive to the men who would have seen her.
Through her etiquette fashion trend inspired by Jane the Ghost, Maliki believes that people should dress so that they can be presentable at any given time.
