Africa Cape Reed Thatch has been used in Southern parts Africa by ethnical groups such as the traditional Zulu's over centuries ago. The Biggest and strongest ethnical group was made very popular by the film Shaka Zulu. Thatch Roofing  was Adopted by Jan Van Riebeeuk's Dutch Settlers in 1652 when they  established trade routes around the southern tip of Africa around cape town. Thatch roofing was used on the first homes and dwellings they erected and the Cape Dutch Architecture was born. Today Thatch is still been used for its aesthetic and Natural insulation properties for  house roofs and Lapa's. A Lapa is basically a round or oval shaped Bali Hut but thatched with African Cape Reed Thatch. It's extremely popular in Cape Town, the Bush veld and In National wildlife sanctuaries such as the Kruger National Park..  Today you can own a piece of tradition by installing a African Cape Reed Thatch Hut or Gazebo.
