We so enjoyed our tour given by local artist and inspiration, Sakumzi. What he and his brother are doing in their community is inspiring...teaching the local youth about art through expression is something to see. They are making a difference and their art (which is for sale) is just as impressive.

I was in South Africa for over 2 weeks but didn’t do much shopping. When my trip ended in Port Elizabeth I was recommended to this shop. It was a wonderful experience! The shop is huge and the staff was so helpful. They have a wide range of items from inexpensive fun gifts to expensive and elaborate finds that you haven’t seen elsewhere. I was able to find some special gifts for friends and family and of course- sone fun and different souvenirs for myself. The manager walked around with me and helped me pick out purchases without pressuring me to buy things. I have already told some other friends about this amazing store and hope to visit again someday!
