3. The Trading Company at the Spice Route

“The Trading Company store at Spice Route near Paarl in the Western Cape is a great destination store (within a great destination). Filled with gorgeous product by local designers — leaving empty-handed is unthinkable,” says features editor Tracy Greenwood.

4. SunCycles

What makes this bicycle special, says copy editor Kay-Ann van Rooyen, is that it is retrofitted with an electric motor and a solar-powered battery. SunCycles is a Windhoek-based venture started by Bernhard Walther and Marita van Rooyen with the aim to create “a more sustainable, affordable and environmentally friendly form of energy and mobility”.
