Announcement
izandla zethu means in the isiXhosa language: our hands.
Our hands are made to move and create things.
"This thought has inspired me to create a project that gives young people the opportunity to learn crafting skills and thus make their own living."
As the main material we use corrugated iron, which residents in South Africa's townships often use to build their huts. We shape and work with the corrugated iron, which basically symbolizes the poverty in these places and turn it into wonderful pieces of jewellery.

5 out of 5 starsI bought the Keyring for my mom who is a huge south africa fan. I put it in her advent calendar and she absolutely loved it. She put it in a frame because she loves it so much and doesn‘t want to break it :)

5 out of 5 starsMy expectations were exceeded! Both the necklace and the EARRINGS NELLY are simply magical! Actually, I am not a jewelry wearer, but with this jewelry I like to show myself - and the fact of being able to support a great project in South Africa with the purchase makes the pleasure even greater 😍😊! Thank you very much!
