The winner of the 2026 Daphne Strutt Prize was announced at the SANS meeting which took place at St Margaret’s Church, Durban North, on 23 May 2026. This year’s winner Caitlin Edwards, received her prize for being the best second

Mpilonhle Sithole is our winner of the 2025 DS Prize. Mpilo is a student at the Fashion and Textiles Department of DUT. Each year SANS awards this prize to the best second year student as we know that in their final year they have to create a collection – a costly exercise and we are sure that even although the prize is fairly small every little will help for the final year. So congratulations Mpilo and best of luck for your final year.

Each year the South African National Society honours its former member, Daphne Strutt by awarding a prize to the best second year student
at the Durban University of Technology, Department of Fashion and Textiles.
This year the deserving winner is
Angel Dlamini.
