    I design and wholesale a range of products celebrating the legacy of Nelson Mandela. All products are officially endorsed and licensed by the Long Walk to Freedom Foundation. A portion of the proceeds of my product line is donated to the Nelson Mandela Library Project which promotes literacy in disadvantaged communities throughout South Africa.The product range at present includes postcards, greeting cards, magnetic memo pads, bookmarks, a birthday calendar, vinyl stickers, button badges and magnets and t-shirts. The products depict inspirational quotes by Mandela from his speeches, comments and writings throughout his lifetime. As he is such an iconic and world renowned figure these products and quotes have wide appeal, both locally and internationally.They are suited to a wide variety of retail outlets and are presently being stocked by prominent curio shops, museum shops and galleries.I also design and produce tailor made products for various outlets around the country.At present I am looking for a sales rep to market my product lines both locally and internationally.If you are interested please contact me for my full catalogue.
