About Us | Nature's Guardian Angel

Halo Dish Covers, known as Nature's Guardian Angel, was founded by the team behind Spaza Store in Cape Town, South Africa. We specialize in creating practical dish covers and helping reduce single-use plastic waste, while offering hope to South Africans through the creation of much needed employment opportunities.
When it was time for Spaza to grow, we knew that we didn't want to grow just to have a bigger company. Our aim was to grow opportunities for young people in South Africa, grow our communities of like-minded people and to work together towards better business practices. Our growth also means less waste, and less single-use plastics.

    Made in South Africa

    South Africa has an alarming unemployment rate of 32.9% (and this number is increasing) of which 59.6% is made up of young people under the age of 25. We are working to uplift existing manufacturers and cooperatives in South Africa, with a focus on creating job opportunities for young people. Halo provides training and equipment to ensure consistent, high-quality production in a sustainable and efficient manner. As the company grows, we plan to expand this initiative and create even more job opportunities.

    Committed to Environmental Kindness

    This belief runs through everything we create. All our products are packaged in an eco-friendly warehouse, where we make every effort to reduce plastic wherever possible.

    Opportunities for Artists

    To generate fresh ideas and discover new talent, the Halo team publicly invites young designers to submit a one-page concept proposal on a theme of their choice. If selected, the designer adapts the design to fit the various sizes and shapes of Halo dish covers. Throughout the process, the Halo team offers support and guidance, affording aspiring young designers the chance to gain valuable experience in the industry and the chance to see the impact their art can have on the world.

    Women-Owned & Led

    Halo Dish Covers is proud to be a women-owned and led business — certified by WeConnect International as a Women Business Enterprise (WBE), connecting us to a global network of women-owned businesses.

    Fair Trade Verified

    Being part of the Fair Trade Federation community means upholding principles like fair wages, safe working conditions, transparent producer relationships, and environmental stewardship — a demonstration of our dedication to ethical, socially-responsible business practices.
