Hand Craft from Southern Africa

African Curios

At Zoe Zulu Productions; browser, tourists and visitors to our fairs are all guaranteed to find a ‘One-Of-A- Kind’ keepsake, gift or memento. We have hand crafted items such as beaded keyrings of Africa’s ‘Big 5’, authentic Zulu love letters ‘, Christmas ornaments and much more – all of which make beautiful gifts or even to put in your Christmas hamper.
These unique items are all made by local crafts people in their rural settings and cannot be found in stores or shopping malls, so come and find us in all Festivals, Fairs and Fates.
We primarily promote woman artisans and skilled craft workers who create stunning work in beads, wire, wood, clay, raffia, cotton and many other beautiful art mediums. These creations are all crafted by skilled workers in their own environment and communities spread throughout Southern Africa.

Zoe Dlamini-Sas, the founder and owner of Zoe Zulu Productions, personally sources and purchases all of these items to promote and market within the EU. This, besides enhancing her other numerous and varied business activities, also promotes and uplifts local African communities, many of which invariably have little, if any, other source of income.
Apart from buying a beautiful authentic African gift for yourself, your family or your friends, you are also at the same time helping, in many cases whole families and communities, not only to support themselves, but also to preserve their traditions, art and culture.
For those who cannot travel to Africa – then let us bring Africa to you.

What you get

We tell tales from Africa and use props for different stories and drawings along the lines of the story theme. Including colouring or drawing according to the theme of the fairy tale, during day time.
During winter-time (evenings preferably) we will be in a venue with fire around which stories can be told and shared (in this case this will be without painting or colouring also cost price will be minus €10 less and only lasting for only 45 min). We do role play and stepping out of the traditional role into the role of the story teller. Covering elements like active listening, encouragement in constructive story telling. Old tradition storytelling is synonymous with song chanting music and/or epic poetry. Our story telling instils morals and values, stories told to teach lessons and often simply to entertain the old-age art of storytelling with ‘Proverbs’, Umntfwana longakhali ufela embelekweni ; meaning vocalise and derived from a traditional fairy tale ‘Inyanyabulembu’. Also other stories about Nguni stick fighting (a Nguni sport).
