Across parts of South Africa, you are likely to see beautiful, handmade dolls in some of the shops. While these dolls can make for popular souvenirs, they have a significant meaning.


Typically associated with the Ndebele tribe, these beaded dolls are created for young girls to play with as well as serving as a fertility charm for young women and to symbolize a woman's status in the tribe.


Their design also varies according to region and customs, and no two dolls are the same.
