How did the duo take the internet by storm?

In an interview with a leading media house, Chola revealed that Kaumba had traveled to Zambia to commemorate the second death anniversary of her father, who inspired Kaumba’s fashion sense with his impeccable style.

During her visit, Kaumba asked Chola if she’d be willing to try out some of her outfits. Chola recounted, “I wasn’t doing anything at the time, so I just said: 'OK. If that’s what you want to do let’s do it - why not? "You will miss me when I die and at least this way you will be remembering me.”

Chola hopes to inspire others with her story “to live their lives and not worry about being judged by society and always forgive yourself for whatever mistakes you made. You can never change your past - but you can change your future.”
