Mantenga Lifestyle & Craft Centre Welcomes New Woman-Led Brands and Expands Authentic African Offering

The Mantenga Lifestyle & Craft Centre continues to strengthen its position as a leading destination for distinctive African fashion, craft and design with the recent addition of Lulba Afrika, a vibrant, woman-led luxury lifestyle brand.

Lulba Afrika joins forces with Rose of Sharon Space, a respected woman-led retail brand celebrated for its modern Afrocentric aesthetic and handcrafted genuine-leather fashion and accessories. Known for its high-quality work and travel bags, footwear and wallets, Rose of Sharon Space brings a strong focus on craftsmanship and contemporary African design.


Lulba Afrika showcases African excellence through beautifully tailored women’s wear crafted from colourful, hand-made Adire batik fabrics sourced from artisan communities in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Rooted in faith and driven by a passion for empowering women, the brand’s “Every Queen” collection celebrates self-love, dignity and confidence. Each piece reflects a commitment to African creativity—designed by Africans, made in Africa and shared with the world.


This collaboration brings together two complementary brands united by a shared commitment to ethical production, women-led enterprise and the celebration of African creativity. With over 20 years of experience in entrepreneurship development across Eswatini and Southern Africa, Rose of Sharon Space further reinforces a strong ethos of women empowering women and fostering inclusive economic participation.


Their presence at Mantenga Lifestyle & Craft Centre not only enhances the Centre’s retail offering but also contributes to local youth employment, supports skilled Swati artisans and uplifts community-based suppliers. Together, they help create a retail environment where every purchase supports local livelihoods while celebrating bold African design.


In addition, The Delightful Enchantment has officially become the Ezulwini stockist for Ngwenya Glass, further enriching the Centre’s offering of authentic African products.


Visitors to The Delightful Enchantment can now explore a curated selection of Ngwenya Glass pieces, ideal for souvenirs, gifts and keepsakes. Each item is individually hand-blown by skilled artisans, ensuring every piece is unique. The brand’s commitment to sustainability and local craftsmanship aligns seamlessly with the Centre’s mission to support Eswatini’s creative community.


Beyond this exciting addition, The Delightful Enchantment continues to champion local artisans by collaborating with skilled Swazi wood carvers to develop innovative, market-ready products. The boutique also features handcrafted jewellery made on site, offering visitors yet another opportunity to discover authentic, locally produced treasures.


These latest additions underscore Mantenga Lifestyle & Craft Centre’s ongoing commitment to showcasing African excellence, supporting local enterprise and delivering a rich, culturally immersive retail experience.
