The future of four South African fashion designers will be decided tonight (Wednesday, 4 October) when David Tlale chooses the winner of The Intern during the show's finale.

It's happening live from the Turbine Hall in Newtown and airs in a two-hour special on SABC3, starting at 19h30.

The final four have to present what the show is calling "an exit collection", which consists of a whopping seven looks per contestant. They have to present a cohesive signature collection that suits global trends and that has a distinctively South African style.

Who will do it best? Who's done it best so far? Who deserves to win?

Cast your eye over these designs by the four and you be the judge:

Cyla Gonsolves



Cyla Gonsolves is a 22-year-old from Stellenbosch, Western Cape, currently pursuing her Advance Diploma at CTCFD.

As an emerging creative, Cyla believes in fashion with a cause; that fashion should start a conversation, mean something and ignite a fire within.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Keletso Moraba



The youngest of the interns, Keletso, is 23-years-old, from Limpopo. He started designing his first garments 5 years ago and had his older sister adorn his designs.

Driven by a passion for fashion, Keletso decided to pursue his dreams and develop his craft at Central Johannesburg Collage, in 2016, and is still to graduate. His mother, a self-taught seamstress, is his inspiration and is the reason why he’s a fashion designer...
 
 
 
 
 
 

Kuena Moshoeshoe

Kuena was born and raised in Lesotho and studied Fashion Design at the University of Johannesburg where she recently graduated.

She is inspired by architecture, the human form and other forms of art such as sculptures, paintings and films. She is also inspired by fabric, she is detail orientated and enjoys manipulating patterns to make her work more interesting.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Sam Mosala



Samuel is a self-taught designer from Durban. At 44 years of age, he has 20 years’ experience in the industry. He did a year course in pattern-making at the Durban University of Technology.

A happy client always inspires him to go out and be better - giving quality finished products. Samuel always strives to be exceptional in everything he does.

Congrats Kuena!

They must have almost killed themselves getting such a huge, final collection together. It's remarkable that only one of them had a meltdown.

I enjoyed seeing them deliver BUT I didn't enjoy the accompanying music - urgh! - was so undynamic and naff.

I just wanna sew now. I've got my sewing machine out but never get a chance to and this has made me feel I must - I must.
