His travelling arrangements have been covered by Gucci and he is scheduled to meet the label's president and chief executive officer Marco Bizzarri as well as attend a private Gucci showroom presentation.

Speaking from Milan, Riky told Sowetan: "This means everything for me. I only wanted to change people's mindsets and make them believe that they can do it their way. For an international brand to call me out is the biggest pay-off for me as an African kid. It means so much. I could die tomorrow."

DO YOU and let them do them..." : @yeahlenzo ------------------------------------------------------------------- #StayShining #kingkotini #motivation #cottoneatersworldwide #lifeisbeautiful
