One of the world's largest producers of phosphate and phosphoric acid, Foskor is proudly South African, but internationally focused. 
 
• Foskor was founded by the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) in 1951 to produce phosphates for South Africa’s agricultural sector, and is the only vertically integrated producer of phosphate ore, phosphoric acid and granular fertiliser in South Africa.
 

Venda pottery is one of the most distinctive types of traditional South African craft art, perfect in its elegant simplicity. The eye-catching dark brown pots, decorated with red ochre and silver graphite from Venda’s Lalonde Mountains, look beautiful in every setting. Originally Venda pots served as low-tech “fridges”, as the thick clay keeps water fresh and cool. Today the pots are used mostly for decoration.
