Established in 1982, we are a manufacturing company based in the beautiful Kingdom of Swaziland (Eswatini) in Southern Africa. Our core business is candle making both traditional parafin wax as well as soya candle tea lights. Our colourful, handmade product range also features wax encased LED lights, pure vegetable glycerine soaps and marula oil bodybalm.
We have a vibrant, music filled workshop in the Malkerns Valley where we invite guests to come and interact with our artisans as they work their magic as well as a manufacturing workshop in the Matsapha industrial area where we produce the veneers for the candles and generate our bulk order products.
The Swazi Candles Centre
An expedition to Swazi Candles is not just a candle experience. We are happily surrounded by other talented crafters, artists and artisans as well as a bustling market and souvenir shops. Sample some Black Mamba chilli sauce or take a stroll through Yebo Art Gallery. The Sambane Tea Garden provides excellent meals, cakes and daily specials in a beautiful shady garden setting with a fabulous children’s playground.
We have an organic vegetable garden to help supply our workers with fresh, wholesome food. We believe that what you put in, is ultimately what you get out. By investing in the health and well being of our staff, we, in turn, get the best from them, thus enabling us all in a win-win situation.
