The craftmaster with her products for sale in Mtuba Town

Triphena Gumede is  local artist who makes these beautiful baskets from rafia palm leaves. These palms are only found in remote inaccessable areas, which are near the coast and also in a wetland. The rear and endangered Palm nut vultures love to nest in these trees, and when they do the locals refuse to use the leaves from the particular tree where the nest is located. There is a story here and I will find out more   for you and place a link to that story. If you would like to know what I find out then please send me an email and I will place you on a special mailing list, which is never shared with or sold to any third party.   Click here to view our privacy statement.
