With the MTN Bushfire 2026 festival on the horizon, we’re shining a light on some of the traders who bring creativity, purpose and innovation to the #BRINGYOURFIRE experience. Meet Tebenguni Mkhatjwa, founder and designer of @heritagehutsz , a brand transforming discarded materials into opportunity. Through upcycled sandals, locally known as tincabule, made from tractor tyres and conveyor belts, Tebenguni turns what many see as waste into wearable stories of resilience and design. For her, trading at the festival represents growth and a full-circle moment shaped by platforms like the @internationaltradecentre - @euineswatini Future Icons programme, which helped equip her as a young entrepreneur. It’s also an opportunity to connect with both local and international creatives, opening the door to new markets and shared ideas. From waste to wonder, Heritage Hut is a reminder that creativity can reshape what we value.
