Welcome to Tintsaba

Tintsaba was founded by Sheila Freemantle in 1985. Her vision was to work with the women of rural eSwatini in order for them to grow in personal and financial independence. Starting with only 12 local women, Sheila's guidance, dedication and innovation has resulted in Tintsaba becoming renowned worldwide for its refined sisal basketry technique and quality jewelry making. Consequently Tintsaba has been granted numerous awards and is now recognised as an industry leader.
