Found in the pockets of South Africans since way back.
100th anniversary ad for traditional South African herbal balm and antiseptic ointment
Zam-Buk, used to treat cuts, sores, bruises, blisters, etc. As people kept the product
mostly in their pockets, 100 distinctly South African pocket-sized items that were
around during certain eras were collected and photographed next to each other. The
headline is a mix of different languages (Zulu, English, Afrikaans), highlighting the fact
that the product has been used right across racial barriers all over the country.
