Greetings from a Mozambican now living in Portugal, thank you so much for the DIY video, my mom (also Mozambican born in Namaacha village (Lebombo border crossing) always loved the traditional South African and Swazi traditional clothes, she says nobody can beat the South African hats and beadwork , although she says that she likes our fabrics better, she has a Isicholo she bought in Jo'berg but it stayed in Moz and I would like to surprise her with a another one for her birthday in April. Your a star,much love and God bless. Siyabonga.
