Riverlution
This puzzle was crafted in partnership with Grasshopper Geography, who designed the striking map of Africa’s river basins using satellite images. This 342-piece puzzle features unique shapes such as a camel over the Sahara, a flamingo over the Great Rift Valley, and other iconic images representing important geographical features across the continent.
“If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa” – John Hemingway.
A large reversible raindrop-shaped piece in the heart of the puzzle significantly pays homage to our collaborator and has the Grasshopper Geography logo engraved on the back.
Experience the magic of multi-piece shapes with an elephant that only comes to life when the four pieces are put together, along with the beloved Flame Lily. Proceeds from this puzzle go directly to Hennops Revival, an organization that is tirelessly working towards the restoration of our precious waterways.

PUZZELIZE
If you have a passion – Puzzelize it!
Born of Covid, or was it bored of Covid, I decided to design and develop unique puzzles instead of just building them. Also as a result of Covid I found a deeper sense of responsibility to my community – charity begins at home! I formed a relationship with Hennops Revival, initially supporting the Homeless Shelter which was set up in the Lyttelton Town Hall, and later cooking food together with a whole band of friends for the waste pickers and informal dwellers living along the river banks. Now the focus is back to cleaning up the Hennops, a river I played and picnicked next to during my childhood growing up in Irene. (Horror! That was almost 50 years ago)
THE INSPIRATION
The Hennops River inspired my first jigsaw puzzle. The fish represents the return of healthy aquatic life, and the actual shapes of the individual puzzle pieces are representative of some of the nature that was found next to the river back then, and some that still is, (I sometimes hear a Fish Eagle from my patio). The fairy piece represents Tarryn – the small, beautiful and very capable founder of Hennops Revival who works her magic in the community and in (literally) the river.
Other pieces hold significance namely the snake that represents healing, the scrub hare and scorpion were rare finds during recent river cleanup operations, crabs used to be very prevalent in the river up till 10 years ago. We had a Paradise Flycatcher nesting in our garden when we built our home in Centurion twenty years ago.
The proceeds of this puzzle named ‘Healing the Hennops’ will help Hennops Revival become ever more effective in restoring our river back to health.
