LILLIPUT ARTS AND CRAFTS


ALICE, EASTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA
LOCATION: BELOW STANDARD BANK,
ALICE BRANCH, OPPOSITE SHELL ALICE MOTORS.


Today I want to introduce you to two major items that may sound new and strange to a good number of you out there. These are the small town of Alice where the University of Fort Hare and Lovedale College are located. The town of Alice though small has a big history as far as African liberation and freedom is concern. It was it is in this town where most of the first crop of African Nationalists lived when they were doing their University Education here at Fort Hare. For instance, great African leaders and statesmen like Julius Nyerere, Mandela, Robert Mugabe, Oliver Tambo, Mangasutu Buthelezi, Manoah Chirwa, Orton Chirwa, Masauko Chipembere , Thabo Mbeki and others walked in the streets of this small town. They became great leaders because of what this small town provided for them. So you don’t separate African nationalism and struggle for independence from this town.

Now this town today has a well furnished shop which has many items that could remind you and I as regard our identify as African people and children of the soil, valleys and mountains.

This shop is called LILLIPUT ART AND CRAFTS and it’s located below the Alice Standard Bank, opposite shell Alice Motors. Key items in this shop include Beadwork, glasswork, wool craft. Lillian Nozuko Peter is available Monday to Saturday to have your designs done. Also in this shop, you will find various newspapers for both South African and international; Mail & Guardian, Sun, Job mail, King mercury, Daily Dispatch, Sowetan, Soccer Laduna, Die Burger, Magazines and many stationery for those who are students.
