Baleni Salt

"The women harvesters live beside the Baleni spring during harvest time, making the salt that has become a commercial favorite. Belonging to the Tsonga tribe, they speak in a coded language of metaphors, out of respect for the sacred space they inhabit, beside a bubbling spring of mineral water that holds both religious and economic significance for them. They believe it is inauspicious to refer to elements in nature by their actual name, so inventive names are coined for everyday things: a cloud becomes a blanket, reeds are spears, a snake is a stick, and so on.

Locals and practitioners of alternative medicine hail Baleni salt for its curative properties, and because it is naturally processed and organic. Baleni is the only natural salt harvesting site in South Africa, where timeless traditions endure, untouched by mechanization, blessed by the spring, the river, the sacred tree, and the spirit of the ancestors."
