The Swenkas are a small group of Zulu working men which formed in South Africa. These well-dressed men are proud and considered to serve as an inspiration to others. Frequently, on Saturday nights they meet up to compete in a fashion show of sorts. The Swenkas are judged both on what they are wearing (typically, expensive designer suits with well known European names on their labels) and their choreographed movements (their 'swank').

- The Swenkas are a small group of Zulu working men which formed in South Africa. These well-dressed men are proud and considered to serve as an inspiration to others. Frequently, on Saturday nights they meet up to compete in a fashion show of sorts. The Swenkas are judged both on what they are wearing (typically, expensive designer suits with well known European names on their labels) and their choreographed movements (their 'swank'). There is an entrance fee to compete in these swank-offs and the winner of the night goes home with a portion of the money collected from the competitors. The men follow certain set values of Swanking, such as physical cleanliness, sobriety and above all self-respect. In 2004, Danish filmmaker Jeppe Rønde created The Swenkas, a documentary about the group.
- Swenkas é a denominação de um pequeno grupo de trabalhadores zulus na África do Sul pós-Apartheid. Homens orgulhosos de se vestir bem e servir como inspiração para outros. Homens que, todo sábado à noite, deixam suas roupas sujas para trás e vestem seus melhores ternos Carducci ou Pierre Cardin para impressionar um júri selecionado durante a semana. Esses homens tem praticado esse show de moda por tanto tempo que ninguém se lembra exatamente quando ou mesmo por que tudo começou. Normalmente o prêmio pela melhor roupa e estilo da noite é em dinheiro, mas em ocasiões especiais como o Natal o vencedor volta para casa levando um relógio de ouro, ou uma cabra ou mesmo uma vaca pelo cabresto.
