Its amazing what the Zulu women can do with grass and coloured thread. It takes them from several days up to a couple of weeks to produce the bigger baskets and items in the photograph above while one of the plate like baskets (at a loss for a better word for it) will sell for only between R100 and R200 (South African Rand). An absolute bargain and must have memento of the area.
