Notes

Tintsaba is a project designed to facilitate the financial independence and artistic growth of women from the Hhohho district in rural eSwatini. Founded in 1985 by Sheila Freemantle, Tintsaba began with 12 local women and has grown into a globally recognised name for refined basketry with numerous awards. BaPhocile Dlamini was born in October 1970 in the Msindza area and started with Tintsaba in 2006.

Sisal is the common name for Agave Sisalana. It can be found in most areas of eSwatini, and is regarded as an exotic and invasive weed. Sisal has always been used to make rope, twine, handcraft and stockades.
