Shweshwe is a printed cotton fabric that is mainly used for traditional Sotho (South Africa & Lesotho) clothing. The fabric is made in a variety of colors and designs that are characterized by geometric patterns. Due to its timeless popularity, Shweshwe is also known as the denim of South Africa. Shweshwe fabrics are now produced by the British-South African company Da Gama-Textiles, which owns the sole manufacturing rights, in Zwelitsha in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The company has set itself the goal of broad-based economic empowerment and a wide-ranging corporate ownership program a few years ago implemented. As a result, 60% of the company's property was indirectly transferred to the company's employees. Just like in the past, the fabrics are now produced in the traditional way using what is known as "blue print" copper roll printing.
