I want the world to see the beauty of my people. AbeNguni

My name is Siyasanga Tundzi and I am currently living on the North Coast. I am a mother of two beautiful boys aged 16 and 8 months old. I am an artist and make handmade jewellery to make a living. 

My crafts are inspired mainly by Nguni people and Africa at large. I always try to express the beauty of our culture through my work. I want to change the narrative that African inspired jewellery should /can be worn only on special occasions. One can wear anywhere with Pride. My work is predominately for womxn however I do cater for the more masculine as-well. I would like more people to appreciate it all over the world one day. 

Some time ago I lost it all when our home was burgled and stole all that I had and I had to stop working. Fell into a deep depression and had a stroke. I have since recovered and have revived my dream of working with my hands again. Covid hit but I was able to work a bit however I have since had to stop because I no longer have a working phone or laptop to work. We get by from generous community members and friends. I would like to purchase a machine, fix my phone and laptop and then buy tools and material to make the product. With the link below you can peruse through my work and see what I can do. With your support I will able able to take care of my family again. To put food on the table and build a future for them.
