It is also one of six floral kingdoms with unique biodiversity containing thousands of plant species found nowhere else on the planet. And with over 20 000 species, it is one of the most species-rich countries in the world and on the African continent.

 

Leafolo™, a South African borne company, produces and offers African botanically derived products and is founded on strong principles which we continually strive to embody and enact;

Man on a Mission

Cliff lost his father and uncle to a 20 pack a day cigarette habit and after becoming a Cannabis user he started mixing with Tobacco to make it burn better and then moved on to rolling his own cigarettes as he enjoyed and got addicted to the Tobacco, which obviously was not good. He then discovered herbal mixers as an alternative in the markets of the middle east and decided he needed to move to them.

 

On returning to his native South Africa he found a long history of traditional, smokable plants in the region and developed the Leafolo smoke blends for his own use - discovering that others enjoyed them also.

 

He is now on a mission to get them to the world and to bring the benefits of African Traditional plant medicine to as many people as possible !

11% Donations Pledge

Leafolo™ believes in giving back and in respecting the indigenous knowledge holders who have carried these sacred plants and the knowledge of their usage for countless generations. 

 

Our principle is to go above and beyond in all we strive to do and to help make this planet a better place for all. We therefore overshoot the biblical principle of tithing (giving 10%) and add an extra 1% for our donations for beneficiation, with 11% of net profits after taxes and all expenses going to charities and Indigenous Knowledge Holders in Southern Africa. 

 

Registered for Biotrade and abiding by the respective sustainability protocols, Leafolo™ has entered into Material Transfer Agreements and beneficiating agreements with a number of local projects:
