What makes it special is that it uses 100% recycled glass, mainly from old bottles collected locally. The factory was originally established in 1979 with the help of Swedish aid and has since become a significant tourist attraction. Visitors can watch skilled glassblowers at work in the factory, feeling the heat from the furnace and seeing the creative process up close.

The factory also has a well-stocked showroom and a coffee shop offering light meals and refreshments. Ngwenya Glass is committed to environmental conservation and runs initiatives like the Ngwenya Glass Rhino and Elephant Fund to support wildlife conservation efforts. It's a great place to visit if you're interested in art, sustainability, and supporting local communities
