Ukuva iAfrica USA, Inc. Information

Somewhere between the mid-summer mix of sultry, full moon drumbeats, the flames of wood-fired Safari Barbecues and a man with the courage of King Shaka Zulu - Ukuva iAfrica was born. Literally meaning, "the senses of Africa" in Xhosa, the company was initially an employment project for refugees and underprivileged citizens in the city of Cape Town, South Africa. Since 1996, we have evolved into an international supplier of award winning, gourmet African hot sauces, spice blends, chili salts and now, Fair Trade wine. Our approach is a passionate one. And, while our focus remains on innovation and truly traditional quality, our actions will always reflect sustainability and sit side-by-side with the vision of the African people. We can only hope that this will continue to be a catalyst in our growth from humble beginnings, to a company boasting accomplishments like London’s very own “True Product Innovation within the Global Food and Drink Industry”, award. The Ukuva iAfrica Brand via Turqle Trading South Africa is an active member of the WORLD FAIR TRADE ORGANISATION and certified by FAIRTRADE INTERNATIONAL (FLO) as a licensee, trader, importer, manufacturer and processor of FLO certified products. 2.5% of every product we sell goes towards the FAIR TRADE TRUST, which was set up to pay for the education of our workers and their children’s school fees.
