Our Heritage Veldskoen, the original and still our best-selling collection, has been updated with our distinctive vibrant Veldskoen soles and a refined silhouette. They embody the true spirit of traditional South African Veldskoen—durable, comfortable, and dependable. Named after Vilakazi Street in Soweto, one of Johannesburg’s most renowned streets, this model honors Benedict Wallet Vilakazi, a Zulu poet, novelist, and educator, and the first black South African to earn a Ph.D. Remarkably, both Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu once called Vilakazi Street home, a rare distinction shared by few places worldwide.
Vilakazi Street is probably the most famous street in the huge Soweto township in Johannesburg. Both Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu lived here – how many places can claim that two Nobel Prize winners lived in the same street.
