Soccer fm-radio from South Africa - ideal world cup 2010 momento
Specially for the uber soccer fan, there is a one-of-a-kind functional fm-radio available in 2010. One-of-a-kind, the hand crafted radio features 11 soccer players and a soccer ball on a glass-beaded casing and weighs about 1 kg.
An excellent gift that is socially responsible, ideal for birthdays, corporate events, employee appreciation gifts or as give-aways.
“With all the attention on South Africa in 2010, we think you will really appreciate these unique soccer radios. They are made with love and pride, and we hope that whoever gets to own one, will cherish it forever, along with their (football) memories of the Rainbow Nation.”
These funky, analogue radios are handmade using recycled audio parts, recycled tin, steel wires and many, many glass beads. From start to finish, each radio takes eight weeks to build and gets crafted once an order has been placed.
"We grew up in South Africa, and this wire craft art is very much part of the South African way of life. The creativity and imagination behind it is totally inspiring. By selling wire art, we want to help South Africans provide for themselves in a meaningful way that they can be proud of. And at the same time, share a piece of our cultural heritage.” says Victoria Koning.

Koning continues, “Most people around the world have heard how South Africa is troubled by crime and unemployment. Since moving to the Netherlands in 2001, we've been trying to find a way to help stimulate job opportunities among the destitute in South Africa, so they don't need to rely on donations. ”
When choosing reliable business partners in South Africa, Marvic insists that these partners are socially-responsible (informal) businesses that offer skills-training and guidance to unemployed persons.
Along with the fabulous football radio, other soccer-related items include 3D keyrings in the shape of soccer balls and football boots, which are made from glass beads and steel wire. Also available are little soccer player keyrings made from scooby-wire or copper wire.
Most products are made to order and require 4-8 weeks for delivery, but CraftRootz also holds limited stock that can be posted within a couple of days.
