Ubizo

Ubizo takes its name from the isiZulu word uBizo, meaning "The Calling". It refers to the spiritual calling felt by a Sangoma, who in Africa acts as an intermediary for the ancestors and sacred spirits, and who also practises herbal medicine.

The brand comes from Dr Bongani uBizo, who spent years living in cities around the world and noticed the common challenges people face. On the African east coast he received his calling to train as a traditional healer and become a qualified Sangoma.

He drew on design skills from before his healing career to build the label. Its graphics mix eastern and western folklore imagery, so they speak to people well beyond one region. You can find Ubizo at Natterjacks.
