-------------------------------
Close to Swaziland’s northwest border with South Africa, there is a mountain that looks like a basking ngwenya (crocodile). Ngwenya Mountain has at its summit the oldest mine in the world, where in approximately 41,000 BC they gathered oxides and earth colourings, probably for body painting. Half way down is the Endlotane Tapestry Studios whose unique African design mohair wall hangings, adorn embassies, hotels and homes around the world. At the mountain’s base is a small bustling glass factory, where visitors can watch glass blowers create enchanting African animal figurines and tableware. Using only recycled glass, much of which comes from the local community, the showroom is illuminated by refracted light from the wondrous creations. Ngwenya Glass is set in a garden shared with other craft outlets whose prices compare very favourably with other centres and even road side stalls.
