What our Clients Say
I have been so pleased to purchase your products on several occasions. The most recent was an online order, which went surprisingly well. I was a bit intimidated at first and phoned Swazi after a few hours of ordering to confirm she received it. The order was delivered by Swazi on time before I needed it. The packaging was lovely and the order was complete. Another lovely touch was she rushed part of the order in less than a week, and blessed me with a little thank you surprise. I would highly recommend the African Mamas products and service.

Wade, Amanzimtoti – South Africa
ACCA held its international conference in Johannesburg in February 2017 and I wanted to look for a small gift to give all of our speakers. I wanted a gift that spoke of the country but also a gift that uplifted the local community. The wire plates were perfect! and the selection of beautiful colours were very popular. Not only was the service impeccable but they are great value for money too. Thank you African Mamas Crafts for giving us that little bit of South Africa to take home with us!

I received the basket on Monday in good condition. The packing was excellent and the basket is beautiful. I hope, in the future, you will gain access to additional large baskets that are of interest to me. Thanks again for all your assistance
