Makarabas - The crowning glory of football fan gear

Isikoko Fan helmet - Made in South Africa

Makarabas, along with vuvuzelas, are the 2 essential pieces of football fan gear in South Africa, and no doubt this locally inspired creation is going to grab the hearts and minds of international football fans during the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

Both the makaraba and the vuvuzela are going to contribute to the unique spectacle that will be experienced in the various football stadiums across the country during the World Cup. One thing is for sure; fans from across the world are going to be nodding their heads and saying...'only in South Africa'.

 

Isikoko – our very own Makaraba [derived from Makarapa, meaning migrant worker and associated with the 'helmets' because they were originally made by miners from their mining helmets. They were hand cut and painted or decorated to create the ultimate supporter accessory for their team or country.

We have designed a unique look so that you can partake in the fun by having your very own fan helmet.
