The SOKO District is a unique retail concept that bridges the gap between online and physical retail spaces. Located in Rosebank Mall in Johannesburg, this dynamic marketplace provides a platform for upcoming and established brands to showcase their products. Recently, SOKO District was a hive of activities as they celebrated the huge success of SOKO District, which featured a vibrant mix of events such as a fashion show, live entertainment, and an exceptional performance by DJ Zinhle. DJ Zinhle was part of the celebration because her brand Era by DJ Zinhle was one of the first brands to occupy space in SOKO District three years ago. 

Expressing his pride and joy for the growth and success of SOKO District, Rosebank Mall’s General Manager, Muhammad Varachia, highlighted the importance of redefining retail to allow businesses to thrive and engage with their consumers. “At SOKO District Rosebank, we recognise the complexities of expanding from online to physical retail.
